Austrian Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Registry

Recruiting
Conditions
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Registration Number
NCT06368518
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of Graz
Brief Summary

The Austrian Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Registry is a prospective, multicenter registry enrolling patients at multiple outpatient clinics across Austria including academic and non-academic centers. Patients will undergo a structured examination process including assessment for symptoms of HCM, past medical history, concomitant medication, family history and the presence of HCM-specific red flags. Furthermore, clinical data derived from electrocardiogram, echocardiography, laboratory analysis, and genetic testing will be collected focusing on a lean variable dictionary and, in addition, specific hypothesis-driven research parameters. All data are entered into an electronic case report form (eCRF) (Phoenix Clinical Trial Management System). In order to perform multicenter analyses, data can be extracted from the eCRF after approval by the steering committee.

Detailed Description

The Austrian Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Registry is a prospective, multicenter registry enrolling patients at multiple outpatient clinics across Austria including academic and non-academic centers. Patients will undergo a structured examination process including assessment for symptoms of HCM, past medical history, concomitant medication, family history and the presence of HCM-specific red flags. Furthermore, clinical data derived from electrocardiogram, echocardiography, laboratory analysis, and genetic testing will be collected focusing on a lean variable dictionary and, in addition, specific hypothesis-driven research parameters. All data are entered into an electronic case report form (eCRF) (Phoenix Clinical Trial Management System). Every site will nominate one representative for the steering committee which will serve as the regulatory authority with the compentence to approve research and funding proposals.

The Austrian multicenter HCM Registry aims to facilitate a wide range of innovative cross-sectional and longitudinal epidemiological analyses unravelling gaps in evidence in HCM. The standardized clinical assessment might harmonize standards of clinical care in HCM patients in Austria.
