New heart scan could pinpoint hidden scarring in serious disease
NCT ID NCT05619302
Summary
This study is testing a new type of imaging scan to see if it can accurately detect and measure scar tissue (fibrosis) in the hearts of people with cardiac amyloidosis, a serious condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart muscle. Researchers will compare scans from 30 amyloidosis patients to scans from people with other heart conditions and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if this scan provides clearer information about heart scarring than current methods.
