Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to learn about the natural progression of DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy) caused by BAG3 gene mutations. DCM is a condition as the heart muscle is weakened and the heart becomes enlarged. This makes it hard for the heart to pump enough blood for the body.

The study is seeking up to about 35 participants who have:

  • BAG3 mutation (change in the gene) that causes or is likely to cause dilated cardiomyopathy
  • NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class I-IV at screening (Stage B-D)
  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction less than or equal to 50% (meaning reduced heart function)

All participants in this study will receive their usual treatment. The investigators will observe the natural progression of people who have BAG3 DCM. This will help the investigators better understand the disease and aid in future research.

Participants will take part in this study for one year. During this time, participants will visit the site at least 4 times (about every 3 months). Participants will undergo study procedures and give information about their health. These procedures will include a physical exam, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiography, ECG monitoring, activity monitoring, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and blood tests. Participants will answer questions about health and quality of life. The study team will also call participants about 1 time over the phone.

Group/Cohort
BAG3 DCM
A single arm observational trial where all participants will undergo the same schedule of assessments.



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Determine baseline of cardiac structure and function in BAG3 associated DCM. [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Baseline measures of left ventricular volumes at end systole and diastole using imaging at baseline.

  2. Determine changes over time in cardiac structure and function in BAG3 associated DCM. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Changes over time of left ventricular volumes at end systole and diastole using imaging over the course of one year follow up time.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Changes in high sensitivity troponin I (hsTNI) levels [ Time Frame: Baseline to 1 year ]
    HsTNI will be collected at baseline through 1 year to observe the natural history (baseline and variance) of the biomarker and the correlation of hsTNI to severity of clinical disease progression.

  2. Changes in high sensitivity troponin T (hsTNT) levels [ Time Frame: Baseline to 1 year ]
    HsTNT will be collected at baseline through 1 year to observe the natural history (baseline and variance) of the biomarker and the correlation of hsTNT to severity of clinical disease progression.

  3. Changes in N-terminal Prohormone of Pro-Brain-Type Natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels [ Time Frame: Baseline to 1 year ]
    NT-proBNP will be collected at baseline through 1 year to observe the natural history (baseline and variance) of the biomarker and the correlation of NT-proBNP to severity of clinical disease progression.
