NCT ID: NCT05090228 Completed - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Valve Insufficiency

Right Ventricle Remodeling After Pulmonary Valve Replacement and Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Insertion

RV-REPAIR
Start date: February 1, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study investigates damage of the right cardiac chamber in adult patients with a congenital heart defect involving the pulmonary valve (the heart valve between the right cardiac chamber and the lungs). The investigators want to investigate if novel, less invasive techniques are feasible to assess damage of this right cardiac chamber, to improve follow-up and timing of intervention (valve replacement) in this group of patients.

NCT ID: NCT02316587 Completed - Clinical trials for Aortic Valve Stenosis

Assessment of Myocardial Fibrosis in Aortic STenosis

AMFAST
Start date: March 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This observational cohort study studies the impact myocardial fibrosis has on patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement.

NCT ID: NCT02124109 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatic Heart Disease

The Genetic Basis of Acquired Heart Disease in Africa

Start date: April 3, 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: - An acquired heart disease is one that a person gets after they are born. Two of these are rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF). They are found more commonly in people who live in Africa than in other places in the world. Researchers want to learn more about these diseases. They especially want to know what role genes and other factors play in them. Objective: - To identify genetic risk factors for RHD and EMF in sub-Saharan Africa. Eligibility: - Children and adults with RHD or EMF. - Healthy volunteers over age 10. Design: - Participants will come from existing study groups in Uganda and Nigeria. - Participants may be required to provide a sample of their DNA. They will do this with either a blood or saliva sample or a swab of the mouth. - Collected samples will be labeled with a code and sent to a lab in the United States for analysis. Remaining portions of participants samples will be stored for an unlimited period of time. They may be used in future studies. - Some genetic and health information from participants might be placed into one or more scientific databases. - Participant names and identifying information will be kept private. But there is a small chance someone could trace them from their genetic information.

NCT ID: NCT01069510 Completed - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Spironolactone in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Start date: February 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug called spironolactone reduces fibrous (stiffening) in heart muscle tissue and improves heart function. Subjects from the study titled "Heart Failure in Congenital Heart Disease: the role of myocardial fibrosis" who have evidence of heart dysfunction and/or evidence of fibrosis (stiffening) in the heart muscle will be asked to take part in this study.
