Cardiac Involvement in Wilson's Disease

• Conditions: Wilson's Disease

• Registration Number: NCT05493605
• Lead Sponsor: Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild

Brief Summary

Heart damage by copper accumulation has been reported in Wilson's Disease. However, the disease epidemiology is still poorly understood. A number of studies on pediatric populations have not shown any significant cardiac involvement apart from early dysautonomia. This could suggest that the clinical manifestations related to the copper accumulation in the heart appears with the duration of the disease. Case-control studies on adult populations have highlighted various electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities more frequent in patients with Wilson's Disease than in healthy volunteers, but all these studies involved small number of patients (maximum 60). The hypothesis is that there is cardiac involvement in Wilson's Disease, requiring screening, follow-up and appropriate support.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Electrocardiogram - Day 0	Day 0	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage)
Contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI - Year 3	Year 3	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage)
Electrocardiogram - Year 3	Year 3	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage)
Transthoracic echocardiography - Day 0	Day 0	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage)
Implantable loop recorder or ECG holter recorder- Day 21	Day 21	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage) The device will record from Day 0 to Day 21 Implantable loop recorder assessment will be only performed on patients with syncope.
Chest computed tomography scan without contrast - Day 0	Day 0	Percentage of patients with abnormal coronary artery calcium score; Calcium score : The higher the coronary calcium score, the greater the cardiovascular risk. A score of 0 (min) means that no calcium is seen in the heart. A score greater than 300 is a sign of very high to severe disease.
Lying and standing blood pressure tests - Year 3	Year 3	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage)
Contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI - Day 0	Day 0	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage)
Clinical examination - Day 0	Day 0	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage)
Blood and urine tests - Day 0	Day 0	Description of abnormalities (frequency and percentage) Blood tests performed : lipid profile, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), cardiac enzymes (troponin C, NT-proBNP), ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein, sodium level, potassium level, urea and creatinine clearance, TSH, fibrinogen Urine test performed : proteinuria
