LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY

This study looks at whether a type of blood pressure medication (mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist) can improve blood flow and energy use in the heart better than a standard diuretic. It involves 75 adults with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (thickened h…

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze standard EKG results, aiming to more accurately diagnose hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a thickened heart muscle) and tell it apart from other conditions that look similar. Researchers will enroll 15,000 adults, including those wit…

This study compares a new, faster MRI technique that uses artificial intelligence to the standard MRI for measuring how well the heart pumps blood. It involves 61 adults with thickened heart muscle (left ventricular hypertrophy). The goal is to see if the faster method gives equa…

This study uses a special MRI technique to look at the tiny structure of the heart muscle in people at risk for heart failure. Researchers want to see how the heart's fibers change over time in patients who have had a heart attack or have a thickened heart muscle. The goal is to …

This study uses a special PET-MR scan to measure a protein called HDAC in the heart. Researchers will compare HDAC levels in people with aortic stenosis or diabetes to those in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand how HDAC relates to heart disease. About 96 partic…

This study tests a new device that uses sound waves to measure stiffness in the heart and liver. It includes 150 adults aged 60 and older with certain types of heart failure or heart thickening, plus healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if the device can reliably detect stiffne…

This study looks at how certain natural chemicals in the body, like angiotensin-(1-7), affect high blood pressure and damage to the heart and kidneys in children. Researchers will follow 125 children with newly diagnosed high blood pressure and healthy kids for two years, collect…
