Finding and treating rare heart muscle diseases early
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study aims to find and treat rare types of heart muscle disease early. If you have heart failure but no known heart disease, researchers will use MRI and other tests to see if a rare cause is behind your symptoms and then offer targeted treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure and are about to start drug therapy.
- You have not had heart disease in the past (like blocked arteries, valve problems, or birth defects).
- Your kidneys must be working well enough (a kidney clearance test result of 50 or higher).
- Your heart's pumping ability should be preserved (ejection fraction of at least 50%).
- You must be able to have an MRI safely.

This trial uses a special CT scan to create a 3D model of your heart's blood flow. It aims to see if this model can help doctors better predict how well treatments work for people with a thick heart muscle that blocks blood flow.
This study looks at how small blood vessels in the heart affect outcomes in people with dilated cardiomyopathy (an enlarged, weak heart). You may qualify if you have heart failure with a weak pump and no significant blockages in your main heart arteries.
This study follows people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition where the heart muscle thickens, to learn more about how it affects them in real life. It may help doctors better understand and manage the condition.
This study is looking at people with cardiomyopathy to understand which patients are most in need of a heart transplant. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about critical cases and improve care for heart muscle disease.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise program can safely improve fitness and daily activity for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart muscle condition). You would work with experts to build a routine that fits your needs and current health.
This study looks at whether certain antibodies (proteins in your blood) can help predict how dilated cardiomyopathy will progress. By testing your blood, researchers hope to learn more about your condition and find better ways to manage it.
