Heart scan study for amyloid protein in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial is testing older adults with heart failure to see if a heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal protein in the heart) is present. If you are 80 or older, have been in the hospital for heart failure in the past year, and have a thickened heart wall, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 80 years old or older.
- You have been hospitalized for heart failure in the last 12 months.
- Your heart ultrasound shows a thickened heart wall (at least 12 mm).
- You are able to have a bone scan (scintigraphy).
- You are willing to take part in the study.

This study looks at how a type of heart condition called transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis changes over time, using a special imaging test called a bone scan. The goal is to see if the scan can help track the disease and potentially improve care.
This study measures how well the heart’s tiny blood vessels work in people with cardiac amyloidosis, using special heart testing. It may help doctors understand the disease better and improve how patients are evaluated over time.
This study looks at past bone scans to find signs of a heart condition called amyloidosis, where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. It may help identify more people with this condition and improve future diagnosis.
This study uses a special heart ultrasound to look for signs of cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. It may help diagnose the condition earlier and guide treatment.
This study is a screening program in Ordu, Turkey, to find older adults (65+) who might have a heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis. It uses medical records and heart ultrasounds to check people who already have certain heart problems.
This study looks at how cardiac amyloidosis shows up on heart imaging, especially ultrasound (echocardiography). It may help doctors better describe and track the condition using your exam and test results.
