U.S., Sept. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07154394) titled 'Cardiac Amyloid Deposits and Heart Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease' on May 20.
Brief Summary: This study seeks to explore the possible common pathogenesis of both cardiac amyloidosis and Alzheimer's disease, which can both be associated with amyloid deposits. Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans with amyloid tracers - a conventional tool for non-invasively imaging amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease - the research will extend this imaging methodology to the heart.
The study will conduct additional PET/MRI scans of the heart in patients undergoing amyloid tracer PET scans for Alzheimer's evaluations. Each participan...
