Heart Amyloidosis in Carpal Tunnel Surgery Patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks for people who had carpal tunnel surgery at Ålesund Hospital to check for a rare heart condition called ATTR amyloidosis. It aims to find the disease early and see how common it is.

This study is looking for people who had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands between 2010 and 2015, to see if they might have a heart condition called cardiac amyloidosis. The study uses a special scan to check for this condition, which can be related to carpal tunnel syndrome.
This trial is looking at leftover tissue from past spine surgeries to see if it contains signs of a heart condition called TTR amyloidosis. It may help find people who have this condition early.
This study collects information from people with a specific type of heart disease called cardiac amyloidosis (AL or ATTR type). By joining a registry, you help doctors learn more about these conditions and how to better treat them.
This study follows patients with a specific type of heart amyloidosis (wild-type ATTR) who are taking or could start the drug tafamidis. It aims to learn more about how the condition and treatment affect people over time.
This study uses PET/CT scans to look at the heart in people who carry a genetic change (TTR mutation) that can cause a heart condition called amyloidosis, and compares them with people who have symptoms and healthy controls. It may help doctors better understand and detect the disease earlier.
This study compares two small tissue samples taken during carpal tunnel surgery to see which method best detects a protein disease (transthyretin amyloidosis) that can affect nerves and the heart. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and are having surgery, this research may help doctors diagnose related heart or nerve problems earlier.
