Cardiac Function in Patients With Hereditary Hemochromatosis
Bu çalışma, Kalıtsal Hemokromatoz (Hereditary Hemochromatosis) hastalarında kalp fonksiyonunu araştırıyor. HFE geninde Cys282Tyr değişikliği doğrulanmış ve vücutta demir birikimi olan 21 yaş üstü hastalar (tedavi görmüş ve görmemiş) dahil edilmiştir. Faz uygulanmayan gözlemsel bir çalışmadır ve tamamlanmıştır.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: HH Patients Group A patients (untreated HH patients) Adults 21 years or older New York Heart Association Functional Classification Class I Documented positive phenotyping for homozygote Cys282Tyr of Hfe gene with documented serum ferritin level above 400 ng/ml or documented % iron saturation more than 60%. Patient has not received standard chronic phlebotomy or deferoxamine treatment. Individuals are allowed to have up to 3 emergency phlebotomies for alleviation of severe iron accumulation before enrollment. Group B patients (treated HH patients) Adults 21 years or older New York Heart Association Functional Classification Class I Documented positive phenotyping for homozygote Cys282Tyr of Hfe gene with documented serum ferritin level above 400 ng/ml or documented % iron saturation more than 60%. Patient has been compliant with standard phlebotomy and/or deferoxamine treatment for 6 months or longer and in stable phase with iron saturation 50% or less. Healthy Volunteers Group C Patients (Age-Gender Matched Healthy Control Subjects) Adults 21 years or older. No symptoms suggestive of heart disease or any other medical conditions, negative Hfe genotyping for Cys282Tyr or His63Asp with normal ferritin and iron saturation. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: HH patients Group A patients (untreated HH patients) Pregnant or lactating women History or present evidence of coronary artery disease, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, coagulopathy, or uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure over 170 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure over 100 mmHg).

Inability to provide informed consent Smoking in past 3 months. Use of beta-adrenergic blocking agents and calcium channel blockers with negative chronotropic effect within 1 week. Inability to perform treadmill or bicycle exercise testing. Inability to undergo MRI such as ferromagnetic implant.
