About this study

Official title: Prediction of Impaired Myocardial Fatty Acid Metabolism and Insulin Resistance for Cardiac Death of Hemodialysis Patients With Normal Coronary Arteries

The investigators evaluated predictive values of myocardial fatty acid metabolism and insulin resistance for cardiac death of hemodialysis patients with normal coronary arteries.

Read the detailed description

Dialysis patients have extraordinarily high mortality rates. Cardiac diseases play an important role in deaths among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. Previous studies have shown that maintenance hemodialysis patients have high prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease. While obstructive coronary artery disease is undoubtedly involved in cardiac deaths induced by acute myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure and in sudden cardiac death, cardiac death can occur in hemodialysis patients who have apparently no pre-existing obstructive coronary artery disease. However, few studies have investigated the factors which are useful for stratifying the risk of cardiac death in dialysis patients with normal coronary arteries.

We recently showed that visualizing severely impaired myocardial fatty acid metabolism on images can help not only to detect obstructive coronary artery disease [8], but also to identify patients at high risk of cardiac death among hemodialysis patients without coronary intervention or old myocardial infarction and among those with coronary revascularization by percutaneous coronary artery intervention. In addition, combination of impaired cardiac fatty acid metabolism with insulin resistance, which is one of the risk factors related with coronary atherosclerosis, may contribute to left ventricular dysfunction in patients with maintenance hemodialysis with normal coronary arteries. Impaired myocardial fatty acid metabolism and insulin resistance, both of which reduce the synthesis of myocardial adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are likely to be involved in fatal cardiac events by causing deficiency of myocardial energy supply. In this study, we prospectively investigated the potential of myocardial fatty acid metabolism and insulin resistance to predict cardiac death in hemodialysis patients without pre-existing obstructive coronary artery disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Disease and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Toujinkai Hospital at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 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 12 Feb 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 Japan. 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?

Cardiac death. 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 NCT01068080, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Feb 2010.
