CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS

This study looks for a type of heart disease called cardiac amyloidosis in people who had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands between 2010 and 2015. Participants must be 55 or older at the time of surgery. They will get a special heart scan to check for abnormal protein buildup. …

This study tests whether a special PET-CT scan using a tracer called evuzamitide can detect cardiac amyloidosis in people whose standard heart scans were unclear but have high levels of a blood marker called TAD1. About 25 participants will receive one scan and be followed for ab…

This study tests a new way to find cardiac amyloidosis—a serious heart condition—early in 500 adults with atrial fibrillation and warning signs. Half will get AI-ECG and CT scans plus usual care, while the other half gets usual care only. Researchers will compare how many cases a…

This study will test whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help doctors find early signs of cardiac amyloidosis, a rare but serious heart condition, on standard ultrasound images. About 200 adults with thickened heart walls will have their ultrasounds analyzed by th…

This study looks at whether increasing the pacemaker's lower rate can help people with cardiac amyloidosis feel better and do more in their daily lives. Cardiac amyloidosis makes the heart stiff, so it relies on a steady heart rate to pump blood. Researchers will test two differe…

This study looks at whether a computer model can find signs of a rare heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis in bone scans that were done for other reasons. Researchers will review past scans from 57 adults and invite those with suspicious findings for further testing. The go…
