Active clinical trials for "Cardiomyopathies"

Investigators will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of a risk-guided cardioprotective treatment strategy with carvedilol, as compared to usual care, in breast cancer patients undergoing treatment with doxorubicin, trastuzumab, or the combination.

The purpose of this observational pregnancy safety study is to assess maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes after exposure to mavacamten at any time during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.

The aims of this study is to evaluate the role of 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography in diagnosis chemotherapy related left ventricular dysfunction in breast cancer patients with cardiovascular risks

This non-interventioal study will be performed by design of post-marketing surveillance (PMS) as an additional pharmacovigilance activity of the Risk Management Plan (RMP) for Vyndamax® Capsules, which is required by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) according to the local regulation. This post-marketing surveillance will investigate the safety and effectiveness of Vyndamax® Capsules as the treatment of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy during 10 years under the setting of routine practice in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to improve the cardiovascular care of adult cancer survivors. The goal is to obtain the data necessary to plan and develop a nation-wide network of a screening program that can help provide cost-effective and long-term monitoring.

The investigators will evaluate the change in myocardial uptake of 99m-technetium pyrophosphate (Tc-99m PYP) tracer on serial planar and SPECT imaging in patients enrolled in the CARDIO-TTRansform clinical trial (NCT04136171).

Diagnosis Of Early Cardiac Dysfunction in Patients With Idiopathic Frequent Monomorphic PVCs and effect of ablation and comparison between different sites of ablation

The QUALIMYORYTHM trial is a multicentre controlled study, aiming to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of 107 children aged 6 to 18 years old with inherited cardiac arrhythmia (long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia), or inherited cardiomyopathies (hypertrophic, dilated, or restrictive cardiomyopathy), and to compare the results to those of 107 age and gender-matched healthy subjects. The secondary objective is to assess, in this population, the HRQoL according to disease characteristics, level of physical activity, exercise capacity, and socio-demographic data. Participants will wear a fitness tracker for 2 weeks.

Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a heterogeneous, poorly understood disorder characterized by a prominent inner layer of loose myocardial tissue, and associated with heart failure, stroke, severe rhythm irregularities and death. For a growing population diagnosed with NCCM there is a need for better risk stratification to appropriately allocate (or safely withhold) these impactful preventive measures. The goal of this international consortium is to improve care of patients with non-compaction cardiomyopathy. We hypothesize that comprehensive analysis of clinical, genetic, structural and functional information will improve risk stratification. In addition, we hypothesize that detailed structural analysis will allow for differentiation of pathological and benign patterns of non-compaction. In a large cohort of adult patients with suspected NCCM we will perform in-depth phenotyping, including clinical information, pedigree data, genetics, echocardiography and MRI, and follow patients for up to 3 years. We will apply machine-learning based analytics to develop predictive models and compare their performance to currently used models and treatment criteria. Secondly, in a subset of patients we will perform high-resolution cardiac CT for detailed structural characterization of the myocardial wall. We will investigate associations between myocardial structure and regional contractile function, as assessed by echo and MRI. The aim of this proposal is to identify a structural signature associated with pathological non-compaction and improve developed risk prediction models. Discovery of pathological structural signatures through innovative imaging techniques, in relation to myocardial contractility, will advance our understanding of NCCM.

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis causes debilitating heart failure in older adults. The proposed research will develop a personalized exercise training program to improve functional capacity in patients on optimal treatment for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. This is a vital next step to improve functional capacity and quality of life of people suffering from transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.
