About this study

Recent advances in technology have resulted in the development of scanners that can image the heart blood vessels within 10 to 20 minutes but without the need for admission to hospital or insertion of catheters. Further advances in technology allow the visualisation of both the blood vessels and the supply of blood to the heart muscle. Here we propose to assess the latest and most powerful computed tomography scanner and compare it to magnetic resonance and conventional coronary angiography.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Computed tomography scanRadiation

    Computed tomography will be performed using a 320 multidetector computed tomography scanner and may include coronary calcium score, coronary angiography and imaging of myocardial perfusion, function and viability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Myocardial perfusion defects defined qualitatively by trained observers and quantitatively by computer software

    The primary outcome measure is to establish whether 320-multidetector computed tomography can identify myocardial perfusion defects as compared to the gold standards of 3Tesla magnetic resonance imaging and fractional flow reserve measured during invasive coronary angiography.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Identification of regional wall motion abnormalities qualitatively by trained observers

    Our secondary outcome measures are to assess the performance of 320-multidetector computed tomography in the detection of regional wall motion abnormalities in comparison to those obtained with 3Tesla cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Identification of infarction qualitatively by trained observers

    Our secondary outcome measures are to assess the performance of 320-multidetector computed tomography in the detection of infarction in comparison to those obtained with 3Tesla cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Identification of regional wall motion abnormalities quantitatively by computer software

    Our secondary outcome measures are to assess the performance of 320-multidetector computed tomography in the detection of regional wall motion abnormalities in comparison to those obtained with 3Tesla cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Identification of infarction qualitatively by computer software

    Our secondary outcome measures are to assess the performance of 320-multidetector computed tomography in the detection of infarction in comparison to those obtained with 3Tesla cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease, run by University of Edinburgh at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 25 Jun 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Myocardial perfusion defects defined qualitatively by trained observers and quantitatively by computer software (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT01368237, 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 25 Jun 2018.
