New study tracks heart disease in rare genetic disorder
NCT ID NCT06865482
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 65 people with Friedreich ataxia who also have a thickened heart muscle (cardiomyopathy). Researchers will measure changes in heart structure over time using imaging. The goal is to better understand how heart disease progresses in this condition, which could help design future treatments.
