Active clinical trials for "Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic"

This is a multicenter, exploratory, randomized, double-blind study of the administration of mavacamten in 60 participants with symptomatic nHCM randomized to receive a 16-week course of mavacamten doses titrated to achieve 1 of 2 target drug concentrations.

Biventricular Pacing has been shown an improvement of symptoms in patients with heart failure. A temporary pacing is necessary in patients after cardiac procedures. In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a single right ventricular pacing can decrease the cardiac output and blood pressure. The investigators propose that biventricular pacing in these patients and conditions results in an improvement of symptoms instead of single right pacing.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a drug called atorvastatin will reduce the size and stiffness of the muscle in the left ventricle of the heart.

This study will compare two treatments: pacemaker implantation and percutaneous transluminal septal ablation (PTSA) for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition in which the heart muscle thickens and obstructs the flow of blood out of the heart. The reduced blood flow can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, tiredness, lightheadedness and fainting. Patients with HCM who cannot be helped by drug therapy may participate in the study. The standard treatment for such patients is septal myectomy, an operation in which the surgeon shaves the muscle obstructing the blood flow. Another treatment option is implantation of a type of pacemaker that causes the heart to contract in a certain way that reduces blood flow obstruction and improves symptoms. The pacemaker is implanted under local anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour. PTSA is an experimental treatment that may provide a third option. In PTSA, a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into the blood vessel that feeds the heart muscle causing the blood flow obstruction. A small amount of alcohol is injected through the catheter to destroy some of the muscle and relieve the obstruction. Candidates will have the following screening tests: chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, exercise tests, exercise radionuclide angiography, exercise thallium scintigraphy, Holter monitoring, cardiac catheterization, electrophysiology study, and coronary angiography. Participants will be assigned to one of the two treatments groups: pacemaker implantation or PTSA. Patients in the PTSA group will also have magnetic resonance imaging scans at the start of the study, 3 to 7 days after PTSA, and at the end of the study, in order to observe changes in the heart's shape. All patients will fill out a questionnaire answering questions about their quality of life. Patients' progress will be followed with monthly phone calls. In addition, various tests, such as exercise tests and echocardiography, will be done during repeat visits at three and six months to measure treatment results. Patients will again complete quality-of-life questionnaires at both of those visits.

Objective of the study: to evaluate whether alfieri technique improves clinical and hemodynamic results compared to transaortic mitral valve secondary cord cutting in patients scheduled to septal myectomy for severely symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

This is a multicenter, international, double-blind study of the administration of mavacamten in participants with symptomatic obstructive HCM (oHCM). Approximately 220 participants will be randomized to receive placebo or mavacamten.

Aspirin at doses used during acute myocardial infarction may inhibit the mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).

To evaluate all full term infants of diabetic mother for the presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who admitted in NICU at Assiut University Children Hospital and to follow up of these cases after 6 months for recovery.

A Study on the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Perhexiline maleate in Subjects with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Moderate-To-Severe Heart Failure

The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate that changes in plasma levels of circulating neurohormones (mainly BNP and NT-proBNP), measured at rest and post-exercise correlate with exercise functional limitation (assessed by exercise peak VO2) and exercise ultrasonic parameters (as left ventricular filling, obstruction, and mitral regurgitation)
