Brief Summary

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited monogenic heart disease. There is an abnormal increase in myocardial mass in this disorder that leads to a state of cardiac sympathetic hypertonia, which is involved in disease progression, development of arrhythmias and heart failure. Cardiac sympathetic hyperactivity may constitute a new therapeutic target in HCM patients who persist symptomatic despite conventional treatment. The hypothesis of this project is that renal denervation (a minimally invasive percutaneous interventional therapy with proven efficacy in resistant arterial hypertension) reduces cardiac sympathetic activity in HCM. The SNYPER pilot study is a non-randomized clinical trial with medical devices (proof of concept), in which a renal denervation procedure will be performed in 20 patients with genetically confirmed sarcomeric HCM, severe left ventricular hypertrophy and persistent symptoms. The impact of denervation in reducing the 123I-meta iodo benzyl guanidine (MIBG) washout rate quantified by isotopic tracing (planar imaging and SPECT) at 6 months is established as a primary efficacy objective, and the proportion of renal denervation-related complications as a safety objective. The most relevant secondary endpoints are the outcomes of renal denervation on left ventricular mass (echocardiogram), diastolic function, maximum oxygen consumption (ergospirometer), ventricular arrhythmia burden (Holter), blood pressure (ABPM), N-terminal (NT) Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and quality of life (KCCQ questionnaire). The results of this study may open the development of a new, technically simple and easily accessible therapeutic line for the treatment of HCM.

Study Arms (1)

renal denervation

EXPERIMENTAL

Renal denervation shall be performed by echo-guided catheterization of the femoral artery, and subsequent cannulation of the renal arteries with a guide catheter. A renal denervation catheter shall be advanced through the guide catheter to the distal portion of the artery. The procedures shall be aimed to deliver as many radiofrequency applications as possible, 0.5 cm apart, intended duration of 60 sec, to all four quadrants of the renal arteries and main branch vessels with \> 3 mm diameter.

Device: "Symplicity Spyral" multi-electrode renal denervation catheter and "Symplicity G3" generator (Renal Denervation System)

Interventions

Minimally invasive percutaneous interventional therapy aimed to modulate the sympathetic nervous system through endovascular ablation of both renal arteries
