Filter by:HCM FLIP study is a two-phase protocol focusing on the detection of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy using Electrocardiograms and Echocardiograms through Federated Learning.
Joint contractures and nerve injuries are common after hand burns. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is effective not only for the regeneration of various tissues, including scar tissues, but also for reducing pain and pruritus in patients with burns. Researchers have attempted to explore the effects of ESWT on hand dysfunction caused by nerve injury following burns. We planned to evaluate the effects of ESWT (compared to sham stimulation) on hands with nerve injury and hypertrophic scars and thereby on hand function. The ESWT parameters were as follows: energy flux density, 0.05-0.30 mJ/mm2; frequency, 4 Hz; 1000 to 2000 impulses per treatment; and 12 treatments, one/week for 12 weeks. Outcome measures were as follows: 10-point visual analog scale for pain, Jebsen-Taylor hand function test, grip strength, Purdue Pegboard test, ultrasound measurement of scar thickness, and skin characteristics before and immediately after 12 weeks of treatment.
The purpose of the IRE System is to address the clinical need for reducing the volume of hypertrophic inferior turbinate(s) causing nasal obstruction while minimizing side effects and complications. Procedure time will also be reduced. The IRE System is designed to be more comfortable for patients, as it employs a noninvasive procedure using a high voltage pulsed electric field to create irreversible nanopores in the cell membrane, leading to cell death and the reduction of the inferior turbinate volume.
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is among pathophysiological states of significance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) has been recognized as an indicator of CMD and considered of important prognostic value in various conditions. The angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (angio-IMR) is a novel guidewire-free method to assess IMR and proved to have favourable correlation with it. This study was designed to assess prognostic impact of CMD in HCM patients, using angio-IMR as a novel non-invasive assessment tool.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if sotagliflozin, a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, works to treat symptomatic, nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (noHCM) in adult patients. It will also learn about the safety of sotagliflozin in this patient population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will sotagliflozin be well tolerated in patients with nonobstructive HCM? 2. Will sotaglifozin improve exercise capacity, diastolic dysfunction and/or physical functioning in patients with nonobstructive HCM? 3. Will sotagliflozin improve circulating markers of cardiac metabolism in patients with nonobstructive HCM? Researchers will compare sotagliflozin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if sotagliflozin is effective at treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Participants will: Take sotagliflozin or a placebo every day for 12 weeks. They will then cross-over (or switch) to taking placebo or sotagliflozin (whichever one they did not take initially) for an additional 12 weeks. Visit the clinic once every 4-12 weeks for checkups, surveys, and tests including a stress test and echocardiogram.
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have high testosterone levels which is associated with altered insulin-glucose metabolism and an adverse blood lipid profile, predisposing them to the development of Type II Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This study will investigate the use of dietary fish oil supplementation as a safe and effective intervention, and as an adjunct therapy to standard of care treatment with metformin to improve heart health, blood lipids and insulin-glucose metabolism in women with PCOS, and those with PCOS and Type 2 Diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and PK of aficamten in a pediatric population with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).
The aim of this study was to determine the short- and long-term effects of smartphone use on the masseter muscle. In the short term, to investigate whether repetitive thumb movements during phone use will cause a spontaneous muscle activation and/or tenderness in the masseter muscle; in the long term, to investigate the relationship between strength change and tenderness of the tenar and masseter muscles depending on the intensity and duration of phone use.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of Sodium-dependent glucose transporters 2 inhibitor Empagliflozin on the exercise capacity,symptoms of heart failure, cardiac function, myocardial remodeling and quality of life of nonobstructive HCM patients with HFpEF.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric hypertrophy of the heart in absence of loading conditions like hypertension. The genetic mutation underlying HCM sets in motion a cascade of functional and metabolic changes ultimately leading to disease. HCM patients often have microvascular dysfunction and myocardial perfusion deficits, of which the aetiology has not been elucidated. Whether these changes are secondary to remodelling or primarily caused by endothelial dysfunction is unclear. As the pathomechanism of HCM is thought to be a cascade of changes, it is important to gain more insight in the perfusion and endothelial function changes throughout different stages of disease: no phenotype, mild phenotype, and advanced HCM phenotype. In this study we aim to investigate these changes in the two most common genetic mutations.
