Restrictive cardiomyopathy

This study explores whether a cardiac MRI can safely and effectively gather the same heart pressure and flow measurements normally obtained through right heart catheterization, a more invasive procedure. Researchers will attempt to perform the catheterization inside the MRI machi…

This study tested the drug dapagliflozin (a diabetes medicine) in 50 adults with heart failure due to amyloid cardiomyopathy, a rare condition where abnormal proteins stiffen the heart. Researchers measured changes in quality of life, walking distance, and heart stress markers ov…

This study looks at how inherited heart rhythm problems (like Long QT Syndrome) and heart muscle diseases (like Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) affect the quality of life and physical activity of children aged 6 to 18. Researchers will compare 107 children with these conditions to 1…

This study collected information from over 15,000 people hospitalized with cardiomyopathy, a heart muscle disease. Researchers looked at how much these hospital stays cost and what the money was spent on. The goal was to understand the real-world financial impact and help manage …

This study looked at whether being physically active over a lifetime is linked to developing a rare heart disease called wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. Researchers compared the exercise histories of 180 people over age 60, including those with the disease, those …

This study followed 37 people with a genetic risk for hereditary ATTR amyloidosis over five years. Researchers measured levels of misfolded proteins in the blood to see if they could detect the earliest signs of the disease. The goal is to develop a way to catch the condition bef…

This study looked at whether menopause makes the heart stiffer and reduces exercise ability in female endurance athletes. Researchers compared postmenopausal female athletes to premenopausal females and older male athletes using heart scans and exercise tests. The goal is to unde…
