Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A prospective, longitudinal, non-comparator, non-randomized observational cohort study to assess the quality of life in adult patients affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and thoracic aortic dilatations who are not amenable to surgery, as well as those affected radiation-induced cardiac disease caused by radiation therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

While physicians and patients may be aware of the physical limitations that result from a diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), thoracic aortic dilatation (TAD) or radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD), there is little research on the impact on quality of life from the limitations imposed with these diagnosis. This study aims to address these unknowns in patients with HCM or TAD as well as radiation-induced heart disease in first-time patients at the Cleveland Clinic. Knowledge gained from this study will provide us the ability for better management of the chronic impacts of the disease by identifying potential risk factors of low quality of life or changes in quality of life over time.

This is a prospective, longitudinal, non-comparator, non-randomized survey study describing QOL outcomes for patients with HCM, TAD, or RIHD. Patients being seen for the first time at the Cleveland Clinic for cardiac disease with no previous or scheduled surgery for HCM or TAD will electronically complete a Cardiac Quality of Life Survey at 3 time points (baseline, 3 month \& 9 month). The Cardiac Quality of Life Survey measures the participant's health status in five domains - global, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual - as well as self-efficacy and resilience.

QOL Survey

Intervention Type OTHER

The Cardiac Quality of Life (QOL) survey measures health status in five domains: global, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. It also includes questions that assess self-efficacy and resilience. The global section asks about your overall quality of life and satisfaction with health. The physical section asks about symptoms and difficulty performing day-to-day tasks. The emotional section asks about depression, anxiety, and stress. The social section asks about social support and relationships. The spiritual section asks about the spiritual outlook on the burden of heart disease. Responses on a 5-level scale.
