NCT ID: NCT00574821 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Use of Magnetic Field Mapping in the Evaluation of Patients With Hypertrophic Heart Disease (Thick Heart Muscle)

Start date: July 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this research study is to further establish the diagnostic use of magnetocardiography (MCG) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The use of MCG has not been extensively studied in these patients. This pilot study will serve to further characterize abnormalities found on MCG in comparison to patients without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Additionally, the study will be used to understand whether MCG has any additional diagnostic utility in offering clinicians insight on the patient's disease state, thereby aiding in the development of treatment plans. This research study is designed to test the effectiveness of the investigational use of magnetocardiography in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The device itself has been approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

NCT ID: NCT00483236 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Congestive Heart Failure

Prospective Study Looking at Quality of Life Measures in Non-ischaemic Cardiomyopathy After Mitral Valve Repair

Start date: December 1, 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

- Chronic severe mitral regurgitation can lead to symptoms and left ventricular dysfunction. - The purpose of this study is to prospectively follow patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy who are eligible for mitral valve repair surgery and primarily measure the quality of life through the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire & the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire.

NCT ID: NCT00428103 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Congestive Heart Failure

Effects of Mitral Valve Repair With the Geoform Ring on Cardiomyopathy

Start date: October 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary aim of this study is to assess the changes on the shape and function of the left ventricle in patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation due to congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy who undergo mitral valve reconstruction with a Geoform ring. Three-dimensional echocardiogram will be used for precise evaluation of the shape and function of the ventricle.

NCT ID: NCT00326690 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Study Tests Whether a Standardized LVR Performed With the Blue Egg Device Improves Cardiopulmonary Exercise Capacity

Start date: November 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the present prospective, randomized study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of standardized left ventricular reconstruction surgery (LVR). In order to standardize the procedure, the operation will be performed with the Blue Egg, manufactured by BioVentrix, a subsidiary of CHF Technologies, Inc.

NCT ID: NCT00281255 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Intravenous Allopurinol to Improve Heart Function in Individuals With Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Start date: June 2003
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study will determine whether an acute infusion of intravenous allopurinol improves the inotropic response to dobutamine in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
