Clinical Trial: Early Screening for Cardiac Amyloid Using a History of Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

U.S., May 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07580872) titled 'Early Screening for Cardiac Amyloid Using a History of Bilateral Carpal Tunnel Syndrome' on April 22.

Brief Summary: Cardiac amyloidosis is a condition where abnormal protein deposits build up in the heart, making it stiff and causing it to work less effectively.
