Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of mavacamten treatment in Chinese adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in real-world clinical practice

The goal of this protocol is to obtain information from individuals with cardiomyopathy and from their families in order to elucidate the molecular genetics of this disorder. This will provide the basis for future genetic counseling as well as contribute to elucidating the biology of normal and abnormal cardiac function.

This is a first-in-human, non-randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TN-201 in adult patients with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by mutations in the MYBPC3 gene.

The goal of this observational study is to create a single macro registry system with data collection on common clinical features, grouping the different rare diseases (RD). Moreover, the specific goals are to generate an alert system for possible cases of RD with data from the electronic medical record, to describe the occurrence of RD in the evaluated population, to characterize the population, to describe patterns of diagnosis and treatment of RD present at the time, and to explore patient-reported outcomes.

The Austrian Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Registry is a prospective, multicenter registry enrolling patients at multiple outpatient clinics across Austria including academic and non-academic centers. Patients will undergo a structured examination process including assessment for symptoms of HCM, past medical history, concomitant medication, family history and the presence of HCM-specific red flags. Furthermore, clinical data derived from electrocardiogram, echocardiography, laboratory analysis, and genetic testing will be collected focusing on a lean variable dictionary and, in addition, specific hypothesis-driven research parameters. All data are entered into an electronic case report form (eCRF) (Phoenix Clinical Trial Management System). In order to perform multicenter analyses, data can be extracted from the eCRF after approval by the steering committee.

The EXCITE-HCM study is a randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial designed to evaluate the effect of moderate intensity exercise training versus usual physicial activity on the improvement of HCM-related symptoms and cardiac function. About 70 participants will be recruited and randomized on a 1:1 ratio to either moderate intensity training or usual physicial activity interventions. Patients will be followed during a period of 24 weeks and assesesments as physical examination, questionnaires, 12 lead ecg's, biomarker levels, echocardiogram, Cardiac Magnetic resonance, PET and CPET will be performed to evaluate their response to the intervention.

The purpose of this observational pregnancy safety study is to assess maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes after exposure to mavacamten at any time during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding.

This study mainly evaluates the long-term safety of HRS-1893 in subjects with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Heart scarring, also known as fibrosis, plays a major role in a lot of heart muscle abnormalities. These abnormalities of the heart muscle can lead to major issues such as symptoms of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances and even death. However, a lot of these conditions are still not fully understood and treatment options are limited. We here aim to use a new radioactive dye called 68Ga-FAPI to identify patterns and the activity of heart muscle scarring. This radioactive dye is being used in humans particularly in identifying and monitoring cancers and has shown promise in identifying scarring in the heart as well. This will help us not only understand the underlying disease process and risk stratify these patients but also potentially help us develop new targeted therapies that can affect heart muscle scarring. Participants will undergo a baseline MRI scan using this new dye and a plain MRI scan will repeated 12-18 months after to see if there are any changes in the process.

To describe the clinical, economic, and population characteristics of newly diagnosed, previously diagnosed, and suspected patients evaluated by Viz HCM. HCM is underdiagnosed in the community and AI algorithms have been developed as screening tools. However, it is not well understood how to best integrate AI screening tools and their potential impact.

The study aims to compare the effects of inspiratory muscle training and Baduanjin exercises on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. By investigating these interventions, the investigators seek to introduce novel approaches that can enhance pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and overall quality of life for these patients. In the study, which will involve three groups-the control group, the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) group, and the Baduanjin group-it was calculated that a total of 51 patients, with 17 in each group (n = 17), should be included. The IMT group will use an inspiratory muscle training device twice a day, every day of the week, for 15 minutes. This training will continue for 8 weeks, with supervision once a week and unsupervised sessions on the other days. The Baduanjin group will participate in a 50-minute exercise program, which includes a 10-minute warm-up, a 30-minute routine of eight separate movements, and a 10-minute cool-down. This will occur three times a week (twice in person and once online) for 8 weeks.

* Validation of validity, superiority, and safety of data analysis results using AT-Patch compared to 48-hour Holter test results * Number of subjects: 100 (including 10% dropout rate) * Performance and safety were verified by simultaneously attaching a 48-hour Holter and a wearable Holter device (ATP-C75 or ATP-C135).

Determining the etiology of cardiomyopathy is of high clinical importance for optimal treatment strategy and prediction of prognosis. There is increased risk for cardiovascular disease and higher propensity for cardiovascular related mortality among Black and non-Hispanic White patients. Recently, advanced cardiac imaging has become a vital tool in diagnosis and risk stratification of cardiovascular disease. Very limited data is available on the prevalence and characteristics of different cardiovascular diseases in Hispanic and African American minority groups, therefore, studying different racial and ethnic minority groups in the Bronx population is an exceptionally valuable source to determine the prevalence of cardiomyopathies among minority groups along with study survival in this population. This study aims to determine the etiology of cardiovascular disease in a diverse patient population by utilizing various cardiovascular imaging modalities, with a focus on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to develop risk stratification models by applying advanced cardiovascular imaging markers.

This study aims to identify and assess new CMR techniques that can improve current CMR protocols.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is hallmarked by the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and may present various symptoms including arrhythmia and heart failure. Mutations in the genes related to sarcomeric proteins and metabolic disorders are known causes of HCM. However, it remains required to further explore the prevalence of HCM in the context of Taiwanese' genetic background. Additionally, certain rare diseases that affect the heart, including Fabry disease, cardiac amyloidosis, may present LVH, which makes precise diagnosis among HCM and these diseases more challenging. In this TSOC multi-center registry, we aim to systematically evaluate the clinical, genetic, biochemical features,prevalence, and possible natural course of HCM and relevant rare diseases such as Fabry disease in Taiwan. In the meanwhile, we may also generate the specific "red-flag" signs of Fabry disease in Taiwan.

Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the heart muscle. Known genetic factors may account for some cardiomyopathy cases but there is still much to understand about the genetic and environmental causes and how the disease progresses. Finding new ways to diagnose and treat cardiomyopathies could improve the health and well-being of patients with these conditions. This study will collect data from individuals with cardiomyopathy or related heart muscle disease, or with a possible genetic predisposition to cardiomyopathy, and follow them over time to observe the progress of their heart and health. This study will collect DNA, blood samples, and detailed clinical \& lifestyle information at the start of the study, and data collected during routine healthcare visits over time. * learn what causes cardiomyopathy, and therefore how to treat it * understand why cardiomyopathy progresses differently in different people, to improve the ability to recognise who will benefit from different treatments at different times The investigators will collaborate with other centres internationally to collect a large of group of participants with similar cardiomyopathies, providing power to identify new pathways that cause disease and ways of predicting which participants are at risk of having more severe disease.

Egyptian HCM program aims at defining incidence, severity, phenotype, genotype and determinants of the disease in Egypt, and providing state-of-the-art treatment strategies including medical, surgical and interventional procedures which are patient- and disease-specific.

The main objective of the study is to improve implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation decision-making processing relevance by developing a new prediction model of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), including newly identified potential biomarkers by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and genetics, through a prospective nationwide study, multivariate analysis and modelling of an absolute risk. The secondary objective is to perform a medico-economic analysis of ICD implantation in order to define an optimal rule for ICD implantation in patients with HCM, taking into account the benefits of ICD, adverse effects of ICD and associated costs (cost of quality adjusted life years saved).

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy=HCM) remains a poorly understood disease with an assumption insufficiently codified. There is no data available in France on the profile of patients, diagnostic methods and assessment and therapeutic use. The purpose of this study is to establish a monitoring of patients with HCM (sarcomere of origin or not) in France (diagnosis, treatment)

This study evaluates predictors for the incidence of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death as well as terminal heart failure in patients with Fabry disease.

With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in stress imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within and beyond CAD. ABCDE protocol was the fruit of SE 2020, and is the seed of SE 2030, which is articulated in 12 projects: 1-SE in coronary artery disease (SECAD); 2- SE in diastolic heart failure (SEDIA); 3-SE in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (SEHCA); 4- SE post-chest radiotherapy and chemotherapy (SERA); 5- Artificial intelligence SE evaluation (AI-SEE); 6- Environmental stress echocardiography and air pollution (ESTER); 7- SE in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (SETOF) ; 8- SE in post-COVID-19 (SECOV); 9: Recovery by stress echo of conventionally unfit donor good hearts (RESURGE); 10- SE for mitral ischemic regurgitation (SEMIR); 11- SE in valvular heart disease (SEVA); 12- SE for coronary vasospasm (SESPASM). The study aims to recruit in the next 5 years (2021-2025) ≥10 000 patients followed for ≥5 years (up to 2030) from ≥20 quality-controlled laboratories from ≥10 countries. In this COVID-19 era of sustainable health care delivery, SE2030 will provide the evidence to finally recommend SE as the optimal and versatile imaging modality for functional testing anywhere, any time and in any patient.
