Myocardial Perfusion CMR for Differentiating and Characterizing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Phenotypes
Italy250 participantsStarted 2025-06-01
Plain-language summary
This observational study aims to evaluate myocardial perfusion abnormalities using quantitative and qualitative cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion imaging in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) phenotypes, including sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric HCM, Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD), and cardiac amyloidosis. The study will also include first-degree relatives of affected patients and genetic mutation carriers. By comparing myocardial blood flow and perfusion patterns across these different conditions, the study seeks to identify distinctive perfusion signatures that may improve diagnostic differentiation, support risk stratification, and provide insights into the role of ischemia in fibrosis progression, arrhythmias, and long-term outcomes.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* A confirmed diagnosis of cardiomyopathy with a hypertrophic phenotype, according to current ESC guidelines; or a first-degree relative of a patient with a confirmed diagnosis of cardiomyopathy with a hypertrophic phenotype; or a carrier of a genetic mutation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (carriers).
* Patient with an indication to undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) according to current ESC guidelines.
* Age ≥ 18 years
* Written informed consent obtained
Exclusion Criteria:
\- History of previous myocardial infarction or myocardial revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary angioplasty) and/or evidence of coronary stenosis ≥ 50% on coronary CT scan or invasive coronary angiography.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
