About this study

Official title: Changes in Diastolic Dysfunction With the Onset of Volatile Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting as Determined by a Load-independent Efficiency Index Derived From the Parameterized Doppler Analysis of Left Ventricular Filling

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of inhaled anesthetic drugs upon diastolic heart function (heart suction and filling performance) in patients who are undergoing coronary bypass surgery.

Read the detailed description

Diastolic heart dysfunction is a significant cause of cardiovascular morbidity and is the cause of symptomatic heart failure in approximately one half of patients who are admitted to hospitals with heart failure symptoms. However, diastolic heart function remains difficult to measure objectively without cardiac catheterization. Diastolic heart dysfunction is also common among patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Despite the ubiquitous use of inhaled volatile drugs to maintain anesthesia in these patients, their effects upon diastolic heart function remain unclear.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diastolic efficiency index (derived from the parameterized analysis of transmitral early filling Doppler using the paradigm of the ventricle as a damped harmonic oscillator)

    Measured: Following induction of volatile anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Diastolic efficiency index (derived from the parameterized analysis of transmitral early filling Doppler using the paradigm of the ventricle as a damped harmonic oscillator)

    Measured: Following the onset of controlled ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diastolic Dysfunction and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 5 Nov 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 United States. 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?

Diastolic efficiency index (derived from the parameterized analysis of transmitral early filling Doppler using the paradigm of the ventricle as a damped harmonic oscillator) (time frame: Following induction of volatile anesthesia). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00907439, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Nov 2010.
