LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY

This study looks at whether a type of blood pressure medication called a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist can improve blood flow in the small vessels of the heart and make the heart pump more efficiently. Researchers will compare it to a standard diuretic in 75 adults with h…

This study compares a new, faster cardiac MRI that uses artificial intelligence to the standard MRI for measuring how well the heart pumps blood. It involves 61 adults with left ventricular hypertrophy (thickened heart muscle). The goal is to see if the quicker scan gives equally…

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze standard EKG results, aiming to more accurately diagnose hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a thickened heart muscle) and tell it apart from other conditions that look similar. Researchers will enroll 15,000 adults, including those wit…

This study uses a special MRI technique to look at the microscopic structure of the heart muscle in people at risk for heart failure. Researchers want to understand how heart muscle fibers change over time in conditions like heart attack and thickened heart walls. The goal is to …

This study looks at why some children with high blood pressure develop heart or kidney damage. Researchers will measure certain chemicals in the blood and urine of 125 children aged 7-18 with a new diagnosis of high blood pressure, as well as healthy children. The goal is to bett…

This study uses a special PET-MR scan to measure a protein called HDAC in the heart. Researchers will compare HDAC levels in people with aortic stenosis or diabetes to those in healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand how heart disease develops, not to provide treatme…

This study tests a new device that uses sound waves to measure stiffness in the heart and liver. Researchers want to see if it can help tell apart different types of heart failure. About 150 adults aged 60 and older with or without heart problems will take part. The goal is to im…
