  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Study population This study will be performed on the base of Natania Heart Institute (out of hospital clinic). Within community-based population study we'll select the patients with LV systolic dysfunction. The participants will be classified according to their LV systolic function, functional class (NYHA) of HF. Approximately 200 subjects will be enrolled.

Summary of Subject Eligibility criteria:

  • Men and women >18 years of age.
  • HF of> 3 mo duration and NYHA class II, III, or IV at time of randomization.
  • LVEF <45%
  • Blood pressure <160/100
  • No HF primarily due to valvular heart disease and no clinically significant valvular heart disease that might lead to surgical correction within 12 months of randomization.
  • No implantable ICD or CRT within 30 days prior to randomization.

About this study

Official title: LV Diastolic Dysfunction Among the Patients With Systolic Heart Failure

Aims: To test the hypothesis that Diastolic dysfunction severity correlates with adverse clinical outcome in patients with systolic heart failure.

Read the detailed description

Recent studies have explored the prognostic role of TDI-derived parameters in major cardiac diseases, such as heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, and hypertension.(1-3). In these conditions, myocardial mitral annular or basal segmental (Sm) systolic and early diastolic (Ea or Em) velocities have been shown to predict mortality or cardiovascular events. In particular, those with reduced Sm or Em values of <3 cm/s have a very poor prognosis. In heart failure and after myocardial infarction, noninvasive assessment of LV diastolic pressure by transmitral to mitral annular early diastolic velocity ratio (E/Ea or E/Em) is a strong prognosticator, especially when E/Ea is > or =15. (3) Conventional Doppler indices and TDI parameters correlated with functional class in patients with advanced heart failure. The E/E' ratio, which probably reflects high LV end-diastolic pressure, was the best measure for differentiating patients with functional class III and IV, and it also correlated with cardiac mortality and hospitalization for worsening heart failure, thereby providing additional value to standard echocardiographic measures(4-5) In our study we'll try to demonstrate that clinical deterioration of patients with LV systolic dysfunction directly correlates with parameters of their diastolic function and that these parameters more predictable than changes in LVEF.

This study will be performed on the base of Natania Heart Institute (out of hospital clinic).

Within community-based population study we'll select the patients with LV systolic dysfunction.

The participants will be classified according to their LV systolic function, functional class (NYHA) of HF.

Approximately 200 subjects will be enrolled.

The participants will be evaluate according their baseline features, clinical status using EQ-5D score, KCCQ Overall Summary Score, KCCQ Symptom Frequency Score.

After enrolment all our patients will undergo:

  1. Maximal work capacity testing (in METS) per BRUCE protocol,
  2. HR response estimation,
  3. 6-min walk test (to walk down 100 foot corridor to cover as much as possible in 6min)
  4. VO2 estimation using the knowing formula VO2 (mlO2/kg/min) = (mphX2.68)+(1.8X26.82XmphXgrade+100)+3.5 1MET =3.5 ml Q2/kg/min
  5. Echocardiography will be performed by VIVID -7 with 3.7 MHz probe All subjects examined with color TDI, FPV, two-dimensional and M-mode echo in the left lateral decubitus position.

Follow-up Follow-up at least 2 years With out patients clinical evaluation monthly Exercise capacity evaluation every 3 mo Echocardiography one in half a year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Meir Medical Center.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 4 May 2010. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Korotinsky Svetlana, doctor (03-6313870, sv_korot@walla.co.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

-Time to death from any cause or fist hospital admission for worsening HF, whichever occurs fist. (time frame: 2 y). 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 May 2010.
