About this study

Use 24hr Holter ECG, ultrasound and cardiac fibrosis markers in the chronic kidney disease patients

Read the detailed description

24hr Holter examination is a non-invasive tool in detecting and diagnosing cardiac arrhythmia. Moreover, Heart rate variability has been proven to been an important prognostic factor in many cardiovascular diseases. The traditional linear analysis of heart rate variability proved to predict clinical outcome in myocardial infarction patients. The more delicate non-linear analysis in heart rate variability is one of the hot topics in the world.

Despite some biochemical values like WBC counts, platelet counts, BUN, creatinine, lactate, clinical vital parameters like blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygenation have been used to predict clinical outcome in chronic renal disease(CKD) patients, the application is still limited. It is an international interest to find a more safe and simple technique to identify important prognostic factors in CKD patients. Our project aimed to recruit these CKD patients from our hospital and conduct a cross-sectional study. Cardiac ultrasonography and 24hrs Holter will be arranged. Linear and non-linear analysis of heart rate variability will be performed and serum marker that influence prognosis like WBC count, platelet count, lactate, BUN, creatinine, fibrosis marker and adiponectin will be checked. Short term and long term outcome was followed and identify important prognostic factors to improve and detect clinical prognosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Disease and Heart Rate Variability, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2010. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

heart rate variability, heart function, PET, Kt/V (time frame: 12 months). 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 29 Jun 2010.
