A Study of Impact of Anemia on Morbidity and Mortality in Children With Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Pediatric Dilated CardiomyopathyDilated cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disorder characterized by systolic dysfunction and dilation of the left or both ventricles.Dilated cardiomyopathy can develop in people of any age or ethnicity, although it is more common in male than female persons occurring at a ratio of about three to one in male to female persons. Dilated cardiomyopathy is the predominant cause of cardiomyopathy in pediatric populations. Annual incidence in pediatric populations has been reported to be much lower than one to one hundred seventy thousand in the United States and one to one hundred forty thousand in Australia. Although pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy has a lower annual incidence than adult dilated cardiomyopathy, the outcome for pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy patients is particularly severe. Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most frequent cause of heart transplantation in pediatric patients. Data from international pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy registries indicate that the rates of death or heart transplantation over one and five year periods were thirty one percent and forty six percent, respectively. Onset of dilated cardiomyopathy is usually insidious but may be acute in as many at twenty five percent of patients. Approximately fifty percent of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy have a history of preceding viral illness.

Assessment of Myocardial Injury in Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplantation
Simultaneous Pancreas-kidney TransplantationDiabetic CardiomyopathyDiabetic cardiomyopathy( DCM) is a major complication of diabetes and is a common cardiovascular complication independent of coronary artery disease and hypertension.Trial to assess of myocardial injury in recipients of simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation by nuclear magnetic T2 mapping technology.
A Registry of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy in Turkey
Peripartum CardiomyopathyPeripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a global disease with significant morbidity and mortality of young women. Its' etiology, epidemiology and treatment is not yet well described. This will be a retrospective, national, multicenter observational study, conducted in Turkey. It is expected that approximately 50 women with PPCM will be recorded.
Unmasking the Prevalence of AC in an Unselected Echocardiographic Population
Amyloid CardiomyopathyThis study will investigate the prevalence of echocardiographic red-flags of amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC) in patients undergoing clinically-indicated echocardiography (observational phase) and the prevalence of AC among AC-suggestive echocardiograms (interventional phase).
An Integrative-"Omics" Study of Cardiomyopathy Patients for Diagnosis and Prognosis in China
Dilated CardiomyopathyHypertrophic Cardiomyopathy3 moreThis is a multi-omics research of Chinese cardiomyopathies patients, aiming to determine genetic risk factor and serial biomarkers of cardiomyopathies in diagnosis and prognosis.
The Role of Emotional Stress in Patients With Stress-induced Cardiomyopathy
Takotsubo CardiomyopathyThe event-related potentials may be different in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy than in patients without Takotsubo.
Brain Function and Perfusion in Patients With Heart Failure
Heart FailureDilated Cardiomyopathy3 moreThe investigators will evaluate the determinants of cerebral impairment in patients with non-ischemic heart failure compared to controls, and its relation to cognitive function. They hypothesize that patients with heart failure have impaired brain perfusion and hemodynamic factors are associated with cognitive dysfunction.
