CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS

This completed Phase 3 study tested whether a radioactive tracer called [18F]Florbetaben, used in PET scans, can accurately diagnose cardiac AL amyloidosis—a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. 244 adults with suspected cardiac amyloidosis received a single P…

This study tested a new imaging drug called I-124 evuzamitide to see if it can accurately diagnose cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. 204 adults with suspected cardiac amyloidosis received a single dose followed by a PET/CT scan. The g…

This study tested whether a special type of heart MRI, called T1 mapping, can accurately diagnose cardiac amyloidosis—a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart muscle. Researchers studied 112 older adults with heart failure and thickened heart walls. They compared…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool could help doctors detect cardiac amyloidosis, a rare but serious heart condition, earlier using standard ECG tests. Over 20,000 patients were involved, with some doctors using the AI-enhanced ECG and others continuin…

This study tested a computer model that uses a patient's age, sex, medical history, and heart tests (ECG and echocardiogram) to estimate their risk of having cardiac amyloidosis, a serious but often undiagnosed heart condition. Researchers invited 50 high-risk patients for furthe…

This pilot study tested whether a radioactive tracer called F-18 florbetapir (Amyvid) can detect amyloid protein buildup in the heart using a PET scan. Researchers enrolled 23 people with known cardiac amyloidosis and a control group without the condition. The goal was to see if …

This study looked at how often cardiac amyloidosis occurs in older Tunisian patients with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. Researchers used heart scans and imaging to find cases and identify early warning signs. The goal is to make diagnosis easier and faster for this seriou…

This study tested whether a special PET imaging probe called [68Ga]CBP8 can measure scarring (fibrosis) in the hearts of people with cardiac amyloidosis, a rare condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers compared 18 participants with cardiac amyloidosis …

This study checked how common smell and taste problems are in 51 people with cardiac amyloidosis, a rare disease where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers used a simple smell test called Sniffin' Sticks to measure these senses. The goal was to see if these issues…

This completed study looked at 110 people with cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where protein deposits build up in the heart. Researchers implanted a small device under the skin to continuously monitor heart rhythms for up to several years. The goal was to learn more about when a…
