- Cardiomyopathies and Heart Muscle Diseases: Cardiac Imaging in the Evaluation of Myocardial Fibrosis Transition — Recruiting • Oncology • NCT06409585.
- What is being tested: Advanced cardiac imaging techniques to detect and evaluate myocardial fibrosis progression in patients with cardiomyopathies and heart muscle diseases, focusing on transitional fibrosis patterns that may predict clinical deterioration.
- Patient eligibility overview: Individuals diagnosed with or suspected of having cardiomyopathies and heart muscle diseases where myocardial fibrosis assessment is clinically indicated; specific eligibility criteria would include confirmed or suspected cardiomyopathy diagnosis requiring imaging characterisation.

Heart scarring, also known as fibrosis, plays a major role in a lot of heart muscle abnormalities. These abnormalities of the heart muscle can lead to major issues such as symptoms of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythm disturbances and even death. However, a lot of these conditions are still not fully understood and treatment options are limited. We here aim to use a new radioactive dye called 68Ga-FAPI to identify patterns and the activity of heart muscle scarring. This radioactive dye is being used in humans particularly in identifying and…
