In Fabry disease (FD) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) systemic inflammation recently gained attention as a possible key pathophysiologic process involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and progression of the disease. Differences in inflammatory profile between FD and HCM have never been investigated so far.
Fatigue and dyspnea that reduce exercise performance are common symptoms in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Since the cause of this functional limitation has not yet been described, this study aims to evaluate the cardiopulmonary parameters measured at cardiopulmonary exercise test in combination with those obtained by non-invasive measurement of cardiac output by impedance (Physioflow) and echocardiography. These results will help to better define the mechanisms underlying limitation in these patients, also in relation to the degree of LVOT obstruction. The aim of the present study is to assess the cardiopulmonary response to exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, based on the degree of LVOT obstruction, by adding non-invasive measurement of cardiac output by Physioflow and echocardiographic parameters to the cardiopulmonary exercise test parameters associated with stroke volume and cardiac output (ie. VO2/WR, O2pulse) Consecutive patients with a previous diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on optimised medical therapy will be enrolled to perform a cardiopulmonary exercise test with simultaneous measurement of cardiac output and an exercise echocardiogram for clinical routine.
Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the heart muscle. Known genetic factors may account for some cardiomyopathy cases but there is still much to understand about the genetic and environmental causes and how the disease progresses. Finding new ways to diagnose and treat cardiomyopathies could improve the health and well-being of patients with these conditions. This study will collect data from individuals with cardiomyopathy or related heart muscle disease, or with a possible genetic predisposition to cardiomyopathy, and follow them over time to observe the progress of their heart and health. This study will collect DNA, blood samples, and detailed clinical & lifestyle information at the start of the study, and data collected during routine healthcare visits over time. - learn what causes cardiomyopathy, and therefore how to treat it - understand why cardiomyopathy progresses differently in different people, to improve the ability to recognise who will benefit from different treatments at different times The investigators will collaborate with other centres internationally to collect a large of group of participants with similar cardiomyopathies, providing power to identify new pathways that cause disease and ways of predicting which participants are at risk of having more severe disease.
Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, the safety and the efficacy of the transapical beating-heart myectomy for the treatment of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center study.
This is a non-invasive/observational study in healthy and mild HF subjects utilizing clinical and ambulatory measurements to improve detection, monitoring, and management of HF risks.
In this study, the investigators evaluated the association between various measures of adiposity [BMI and waist circumference (WC)] and clinical outcomes in Asian patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, using a nationwide population based cohort.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the rhythm control effect in hypertrophic non-obstructive patients with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation by either concomitant catheter endocardial and thoracoscopic epicardial ablation or catheter ablation alone. The study aims to see if concomitant hybrid ablation can more effectively achieve rhythm control effect than catheter ablation alone in non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited monogenic heart disease. There is an abnormal increase in myocardial mass in this disorder that leads to a state of cardiac sympathetic hypertonia, which is involved in disease progression, development of arrhythmias and heart failure. Cardiac sympathetic hyperactivity may constitute a new therapeutic target in HCM patients who persist symptomatic despite conventional treatment. The hypothesis of this project is that renal denervation (a minimally invasive percutaneous interventional therapy with proven efficacy in resistant arterial hypertension) reduces cardiac sympathetic activity in HCM. The SNYPER pilot study is a non-randomized clinical trial with medical devices (proof of concept), in which a renal denervation procedure will be performed in 20 patients with genetically confirmed sarcomeric HCM, severe left ventricular hypertrophy and persistent symptoms. The impact of denervation in reducing the 123I-meta iodo benzyl guanidine (MIBG) washout rate quantified by isotopic tracing (planar imaging and SPECT) at 6 months is established as a primary efficacy objective, and the proportion of renal denervation-related complications as a safety objective. The most relevant secondary endpoints are the outcomes of renal denervation on left ventricular mass (echocardiogram), diastolic function, maximum oxygen consumption (ergospirometer), ventricular arrhythmia burden (Holter), blood pressure (ABPM), N-terminal (NT) Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and quality of life (KCCQ questionnaire). The results of this study may open the development of a new, technically simple and easily accessible therapeutic line for the treatment of HCM.
