Filter by:The goal of clinical trial is to compare AF ablation to pharmacological rhythm management (being rate or rhythm control) in AF patients with signs of atrial cardiomyopathy (as defined by left atrial volume index >34 ml/m2) The main objective it aims to answer is to determine whether AF ablation compared to pharmacological rhythm management in ACMP patients with AF reduces the incidence of the composite primary endpoint of CV death and first CV hospitalization/urgent visit.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of eplontersen compared to placebo on the reduction of serum TTR concentration and long-term safety in Chinese participants with hereditary or wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) serves as an indicator of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) with significant prognostic value in various clinical conditions. However, its impact on CMD in the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), whether assessed invasively or non-invasively, is yet to be investigated. We assessed the prognostic importance of CMD using less invasive coronary angiography-derived IMR (caIMR) in HCM patients with nonobstructive epicardial coronary arteries.Patients with HCM who underwent invasive coronary angiography for suspected myocardial ischemia were included. Microvascular function was assessed using caIMR, and 460 coronary arteries were analyzed. CMD was identified with caIMR>25U, in line with prior research, and the primary study endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
This single-practice prospective cohort study aims to enhance the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis in high-risk patients undergoing standard cardiac device implantation. By analyzing chest wall fat tissue, which is usually discarded, we aim to determine the diagnostic yield of such biopsies for amyloidosis and to develop a predictive screening model based on clinical, lab, and imaging data. The study, running from December 2023 to December 2024, expects to enroll 100 patients and may provide a new, non-invasive diagnostic avenue for this condition.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of ALXN2220 in the treatment of adult participants with ATTR-CM by evaluating the difference between the ALXN2220 and placebo groups as assessed by the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality (ACM) and total cardiovascular (CV) clinical events.
This cross-sectional, non-interventional study will assess health-related quality of life in in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Japan. The study consists of two phases. Phase I is a qualitative study using semi-structured in-depth interviews in participants with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Phase II is a quantitative study using questionnaires in participants with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a control group of participants who do not have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The TaRGET study is a multi-centre, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the potential therapeutic efficacy of tideglusib, a glycogen synthase kinase-3 β inhibitor, in genotype positive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
The purpose of this study was to understand the epidemiological status of Fabry in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or left ventricular hypertrophy through multi-center early identification of high-risk patients in cardiology according to high-risk profiles, supplemented by DBS (dried blood disc) screening tools, and to explore the screening and diagnosis methods of patients with Fabry disease in cardiology, so as to promote the early identification, diagnosis and treatment of Fabry in cardiology.
This study is designed to rigorously evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as an innovative, non-invasive treatment for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM). HOCM, a prevalent cardiac condition, is primarily characterized by asymmetric septal hypertrophy, which results in the obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. This obstruction significantly compromises patient quality of life and is associated with severe risks, including arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. While current treatments like medications, surgical septal myectomy, and percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) have proven to be effective, they are not without limitations. SBRT, a recent development in non-invasive cardiac radioablation, has shown encouraging results in early-stage studies, suggesting its potential as a safe and feasible option for HOCM treatment. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to either the SBRT treatment group or a control group receiving a sham procedure. The primary objective is to measure the change in the left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient under provoked conditions, using cardiac ultrasound at a 6-month follow-up. This will provide a clear assessment of the direct impact of SBRT on the primary physiological complication of HOCM. The study also sets forth several secondary objectives to provide a holistic view of the treatment's impact. These include evaluating changes in NYHA functional classification and KCCQ scores to assess improvements in symptom severity and quality of life, respectively. Additionally, we will monitor physical capacity through the 6-minute walk test, and biomarkers like NT-proBNP and cTNT for cardiac stress and damage. The effect of SBRT on QRS duration will be analyzed to understand its impact on cardiac electrical activity. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) within 6 months post-treatment will be recorded to evaluate safety, and the need for invasive septal reduction therapy post-treatment will be assessed to gauge long-term efficacy. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential of SBRT as a treatment alternative for HOCM. By comparing its outcomes with those of traditional therapies, the study seeks to establish SBRT's role in symptom alleviation, quality of life enhancement, and risk reduction in HOCM management.
Two-parallel groups randomized, single-blinded, multi-center phase III controlled trial in patients with chronic inflammatory cardiomyopathy to assess the efficacy of colchicine and associated prospective registry to assess the prognostic value of positive genetic testing in this population.
