Haemodynamic Effects of Dobutamine in Patients With Wild-type Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt)
Recruiting now · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: ATTR Amyloidosis Wild Type
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of the inotropic drug named dobutamine, in patients with wild-type Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the effects of increasing dosages of dobutamine infusion on cardiac output and filling pressures in patients with symptomatic ATTRwt. * Safety of dobutamine infusion in this patient population. Participants will receive increasing doses of dobutamine infusion, and the effects on cardiac output and filling pressures will be assessed simultaneously by echocardiography and right heart catheterization.
