Filter by:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common clinical genetic-related disease, with a global incidence of 0.2%-0.5%, but only a few cases (10-20%) have been clinically diagnosed. About 70% of them are hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), these HOCM patients have significant clinical symptoms, including progressively increasing fatigue, angina, exertional dyspnea, and syncope. Conservative medications are used to treat the vast majority of patients. Invasive therapy, which includes surgical myectomy, percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation(PTSMA), percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA) and percutaneous endocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PESA) is introduced to patients with refractory symptoms or drug resistance. However, surgical operations are complicated and high risk procedures with high mortality. Interventional approaches are very difficult to perform and therefore the application is limited. Previous researches have shown that interventricular septal radiofrequency ablation could effectively reduce the left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient (LVOTG), thereby treating obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM). This device is based on the same radiofrequency ablation energy principle, however, the catheter is introduced into the right ventricle and performs ablation treatment on the hypertrophic interventricular septum, which is potentially a lower risk route of access for septal ablation than currently attempted interventional approaches. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intramyocardial septal ablation catheters in the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The primary objective of this observational registry is to develop a comprehensive clinical and imaging score (incorporating echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance data) that enhances risk stratification for patients with Takotsubo syndrome. The secondary objectives of this registry are as follows: Investigate the diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance parameters in predicting in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with Takotsubo syndrome. Compare the proposed risk stratification score for patients with Takotsubo syndrome with previously existing scores. Investigate the contribution of machine learning models in predicting in-hospital and long-term outcomes compared to standard clinical scores. The design and rationale of this registry are available at 10.1097/RTI.0000000000000709
The goal of this clinical trial is to test IC14 (atibuclimab) in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and who have an implantable cardoverter/defibrillator in place. ACM is also called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARV) or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The main questions the study aims to answer are the effect of treatment on blood markers of inflammation, safety, and pharmacokinetics. There will also be measurements of myocardial imaging of C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2+) immune cells (optional), monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias using the patient's pre-existing intracardiac cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) and a Holter monitor, electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram (ECHO), and blood tests. Results will be compared to baseline; there is no inactive placebo treatment group. Participants will be asked to undergo screening and baseline testing, then receive 4 intravenous infusions with blood measurements before and after the infusion (including 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7, 14, and 28 days). Participants will be offered specialized scanning of the heart muscle, and will be asked to provide recordings from their ICD, undergo Holter monitoring twice, and have electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms (ECHO) and blood tests.
Background: Some people have a condition in which the wall (septum) that separates the two main pumping chambers of the heart is too thick. This thick septum causes a condition called "left ventricular outflow tract obstruction" (LVOTO), which reduces blood flow out of the heart. LVOTO can cause serious heart disease; symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, heart failure, or death. Researchers want to find better ways to treat LVOTO. Objective: To test a new procedure where excess tissue is sliced away from the septum in people with LVOTO. This procedure is called "septal scoring along midline endocardium" (SESAME). Eligibility: Adults aged 21 years with LVOTO. Design: Participants will have baseline tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart structure and function. They will take a walking test and answer questions about how their heart condition affects their life. Participants will stay in the hospital 2 to 6 days for the SESAME procedure. They will be completely or partially asleep for the procedure. A tube will be inserted into the mouth and down the throat to take pictures of the heart. Pictures may also be taken with a tube inserted inside the heart. Next, tubes will be inserted into the groin and guided through the blood vessels up to the heart. Guidewires will be inserted into the heart. Doctors will watch the path the wires take with x-rays and ultrasound. When the wire is in the correct place, it will be electrified to slice excess tissue away from the septum. Participants will have 3 follow-up visits within 1 year....
The aim of this study is to investigate the association between increased lifetime physical activity and the development of wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
This study will test a medicine, NNC6019-0001, for people who have a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis. It will look at how safe this medicine is in the long term and if it can reduce symptoms of a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis, such as heart failure. It is an extension to a study called "A research study to look at how a new medicine called NNC6019-0001 works and how safe it is for people who have a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis". Only participants who have completed that study will be invited for this new study. Participants will get NNC6019-0001, regardless of whether they got placebo or NNC6019-0001 in the first study. The study will last for up to 157 weeks (36 months/3 years).
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a commonly undiagnosed and potentially fatal disease. Contemporary studies on this condition often underrepresent the female gender and diverse patient populations. This registry retrospectively evaluated patients referred for 99mTc-pyrophosphate (PYP) Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) between 2014 and 2023 at Montefiore-Einstein in the Bronx. The patient population is racially and ethnically diverse and with a high proportion of females. Demographic, clinical (e.g. comorbidities), laboratory, echocardiographic, hospitalization, and mortality data were collected for each patient.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a pathology with a highly variable course, ranging from patients who are asymptomatic throughout their lives to those who experience sudden death and/or terminal heart failure. The main objective is to develop and validate an algorithm (constructed through supervised learning) using cardiac imaging data to predict the risk of cardiovascular events in sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of mavacamten in adolescent patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
All ATTRwt patients on tafamidis 61 mg treatment will be clinically evaluated before treatment initiation and subsequently every six months for the eligibility to continue tafamidis treatment, according to Italian Medicines Agency regulations. C onsidering the significant risk of developing heart rhythm disturbances due to cardiac amyloidosis, especially in transthyretin form (ATTRwt), in routine clinical practice a stricter heart rhythm monitoring is recommended in ATTRwt patients. Moreover, particular attention is usually paid for those who present atrio-ventricular and/or intraventricular block at the baseline electrocardiogram. Data about rhythm disturbances and diuretic dose need will be collected during the planned physical examination every six months and the Holter ECG monitoring requested by the physician at the end of every planned clinical evaluation.
