Doctors test ultrasound to help stiff hearts pump better

NCT ID NCT04667494

Summary

This study is testing whether a special type of ultrasound therapy can improve blood flow and heart function in people with cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins stiffen the heart muscle. Researchers will compare 60 patients with two types of the disease to 10 healthy volunteers. The main goal is to see if the ultrasound treatment changes how well the heart muscle relaxes and pumps blood.
