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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You did not have heart disease when you had the surgery.

This study looks for early signs of cardiac amyloid (a protein buildup in the heart) in people who had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. Carpal tunnel surgery on both sides may be linked to a rare heart condition, and early detection could help prevent serious heart problems.
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 tests whether a supervised exercise and rehabilitation program can help people with a specific type of heart amyloidosis (ATTRwt) feel better and improve their heart function. It may be a good fit if you have stable heart failure and can safely exercise.
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 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.
