About this study

Official title: Observational Study on Cardiac Morphology and Function in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease in Vastmanland County, Sweden(PADVa).

The main purposes of this study are:

  • to describe the prevalence and degree of reduced left ventricular function and hypertrophy in patients with peripheral arterial disease in comparison to controls from the general population,
  • to evaluate factors of importance to left ventricular dysfunction and hypertrophy in patients with peripheral arterial disease, and
  • to assess the impact of cardiac function and left ventricular hypertrophy on long-term prognosis in patients with peripheral artery disease.
Read the detailed description

Left ventricular dysfunction is often a consequence of coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is prevalent among patients with peripheral artery disease. However, there is limited data regarding left ventricular morphology and function in those patients. In the cross-sectional part of this study we will describe the prevalence of reduced cardiac function and left ventricular hypertrophy in a cohort of patients with peripheral artery disease. The patient outcomes will be compared to control subjects randomly selected from the general population in a case-control design. Further, clinical and genetic determinants of cardiac dysfunction in the patient cohort will be identified. In the longitudinal part of the study, the impact of cardiac function and morphology on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity will be evaluated in the cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (cross-sectional outcome measure)

    LVEF obtained by echocardiographic biplane disk summation method. In the cross-sectional study, the mean value of LVEF and the prevalence of reduced LVEF (LVEF < 50%) in the patient group will be compared to the control group.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Cardiovascular events (longitudinal outcome measure)

    Cardiovascular events obtained from the Swedish National Causes of Death register and the Swedish National In-patient register. The registers are linked to the patients by the unique personal identification number assigned to each swedish resident.

    Measured: 5-10 years

  3. Left ventricular mass (cross-sectional outcome measure)

    Left ventricular mass obtained by 2-dimensional echocardiography according to the American Society of Echocardiography.

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Wall motion score index (WMSI)

    Left ventricular wall motion score according to the American Society of Echocardiopgraphy.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Echocardiographic left ventricular filling variables

    Echocardiographic variables for evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function (e.g. E/A- and E/e'-ratios).

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Vascular Diseases and Heart Failure, run by Uppsala University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2020. 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 Sweden. 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?

Left ventricular ejection fraction (cross-sectional outcome measure) (time frame: baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01452165, which also lists 4 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 8 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
