Mitochondrial Pathology Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Trimetazidine on Mitochondrial Function, Myocardial Performance, and Invasive Hemodynamics in Patients Diagnosed With Wild-Type Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
Wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is a deposition disorder in which one of the proteins of the body misfolds and accumulates at various places in the body, including the heart, leading to both mechanical and cellular damage. The gradual development of the disease will ultimately lead to heart failure and death The protein which deposits in the heart of patients, damages both the heart mechanically as the myocardium becomes rigid and hypertrophic over time but also at the cellular level. Cell damage can be observed by elevated blood tests for cell damage (Troponin) and during exercise tests that show patients' hearts burning oxygen inefficiently when exposed to physical stress compared with the hearts of healthy individuals . No one has, however, intimately studied this cellular damage. Vastarel® (Trimetazidine, TMZ) is an already known drug for the treatment of chest pain. The mechanism of action indicates that it may have an effect on patients with cardiac amyloidosis. The study aims to investigate the effects of TMZ on the mitochondrial function, myocardial performance, and invasive hemodynamics in patients with ATTRwt with a randomized, double-blinded, crossover-trial.
