Heart screening after carpal tunnel surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had carpal tunnel release surgery on both hands, at least one surgery for each hand.
- You were 55 years old or older at the time of that surgery.
- Your surgery happened between 2010 and 2015.
- You have not already been diagnosed with amyloidosis or had a test for it.
- You do not have another known reason for carpal tunnel syndrome.

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 collects information from adults who have been diagnosed with, or are being checked for, ATTR amyloidosis (a condition where abnormal protein builds up in the body) using a heart PYP scan. Your participation may help doctors better understand how these scans relate to diagnosis and follow-up over time.
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 trial tests a special scan that uses a radioactive tracer to look for amyloid protein deposits in people who have had surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine in the lower back) or carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to see if the scan can detect these deposits, which may be linked to ongoing orthopedic issues.
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 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.
