U.S., Feb. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07420660) titled 'Muscle Function in Patients With Single-chamber Heart' on Jan. 28.
Brief Summary: Groundbreaking cardiac surgery has significantly improved survival rates for patients with single-chamber hearts. However, despite these life-saving interventions, the long-term prognosis remains concerning, with an increased risk of heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and reduced quality of life. The absence of a chamber that pumps blood to the lungs means individuals must rely on their leg muscles to passively return blood and oxygenate the lungs. Unfortunately, studies indicate reduced muscle mass and function in these patients.
The aim is to clar...
