Study Summary
This trial is testing a new way to detect a heart condition called transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (TTR-CA) in people with aortic stenosis.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 75 or older living in Southeast Minnesota with moderate to severe aortic stenosis, which means their heart's aortic valve opening is smaller than normal. They can't have had recent heart surgery, major chest trauma, or a heart attack within the last month and should not have taken the drug Plaquenil.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to find out how common transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (a type of heart disease where abnormal proteins build up) is among those with narrowed heart valves. It uses a special imaging test called 99mTc-PYP SPECT/CT to detect this condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this diagnostic procedure, generally such scans may cause discomfort at injection site, allergic reactions to the tracer substance used, and exposure to low levels of radiation.
