About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Negative Affectivity in Patients With Heart Failure

This prospective observational study is designed to confirm the prognostic and economic impact of depression in ambulatory patients with systolic or diastolic heart failure, to explore the impact of other psychosocial patterns such as type D personality, anxiety disorders, locus of control, perceived social support, anger, hopelessness, and to evaluate potential pathophysiological and behavioral pathways.

Read the detailed description

Studies suggest that depressive symptoms may be associated with a worse prognosis and higher costs of care in patients with chronic heart failure in some populations, but such data in a French population are missing. On the other hand, little is known of the impact of other psychosocial dysfunction whereas the pathophysiology of this association remains hypothetical.

Main objective: to confirm the impact of depressive symptoms on cardiovascular death in ambulatory heart failure patients

Other objectives:

  • to study the impact of depressive symptoms on sudden death, non cardiovascular death, and hospitalization rates;
  • to study the role of other psychosocial patterns or personality traits such as anxiety disorders, locus of control, perceived social support, anger, hopelessness, optimism and type D personality in cardiovascular and total mortality;
  • to study the interaction with patient behaviors (drug compliance, addictions);
  • to explore some pathophysiological pathways (chronic inflammation and chronic loss of myocytes),
  • and to evaluate the impact of psychosocial distress on health care costs. Design: multicenter observational study with a minimum of 2 year follow up Population: 700 ambulatory patients, aged above 18 y.o., with acute heart failure within the last 24 months

Methodology:

  • psychosocial patterns and personality traits are assessed using validated self-administered questionnaire; use of the Beck Depression Index in this population is validated against the Montgomery \& Asberg Depression Rating Scale evaluation
  • cardiac condition is evaluated at pre-defined time period by B-natriuretic peptide levels, echocardiography and 6'-walk test

End-point criteria:

  • primary : rate of cardiovascular death
  • secondary : rate of total mortality and sudden death, rate of rehospitalization for heart failure and for any cause, total and specific health care costs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systolic Heart Failure and Diastolic Heart Failure, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiovascular mortality (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Oct 2014.
