About this study

Official title: A Novel Echocardiography Modality to Assess Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony: Hemodynamic Assessment by 4D Segmental Ejection Fraction

The investigators hypothesize that the relation between mechanical and hemodynamic left ventricular dyssynchrony might better predict response to Cardiac Resynchronization Device(CRT) than currently existing echo indices.

Read the detailed description

Cardiac resynchronization therapy is emerging to be a highly effective treatment option for selected patients with symptomatic congestive heart failure on optimal medical therapy and evidence of left ventricular (LV) conduction delay and contraction dyssynchrony. It can improve quality of life and results in better survival in this selected group of patients. However, patients have different responses to CRT, and up to 30% of those implanted show no response at all. Ongoing trials, whether prospective or retrospective, have been trying to define best predictors of response to CRT and to measure ventricular dyssynchrony. Despite this, no single echo criterion to date can predict successful CRT over current guidelines.

In this study, we propose to compare LV muscle mechanical dyssynchrony assessment by speckle tracking to hemodynamic dyssynchrony assessment by 4D segmental ejection fraction (EF), a novel modality brought recently by University of Missouri Echocardiography laboratory.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by University of Missouri-Columbia.

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 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

4D echo is the best modality to measure systolic dyssynchrony index (time frame: Two 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 4 Oct 2016.
