Investigating Myocardial Remodelling in the Failing Human Heart
Recruiting · NCT05303896 · Observational (researchers observe without assigning treatment) · Lead sponsor: Oslo University Hospital
View the official record on ClinicalTrials.gov →What this trial is about
Despite improvements in therapy, heart failure is a disease with high mortality and accelerating prevalence. To improve patient care, it is necessary to better understand the features and underlying mechanisms of myocardial remodeling; how it manifests in vivo and its underlying cellular and extracellular changes. The RELAX study will offer insight into myocardial remodeling, by comprehensively assessing function and structure of failing human hearts, and investigate its underlying cellular and extracellular changes.
