Cardiac Involvement in Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis

NCT07031284 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 45

Last updated 2025-07-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective observational study aims to investigate whether patients with newly diagnosed giant cell arteritis (GCA) show signs of cardiac involvement. Using multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), functional, structural, and tissue-specific cardiac parameters are assesed. All participants undergo CMR at baseline and a follow up CMR after approximately six months. Healthy controls are included for comparison. Results may help improve early detection and monitoring of cardiovascular complications in GCA.
