About this study

Official title: Filling Pressures of the Left Ventricle in Patients With Significant Aortic Stenosis: Study of Echocardiographic Parameters Compared to Invasive Evaluation

Left valvular heart disease has become one of the most common heart disease in Western countries. This disease evolve over many years and are characterized by a long phase where the patient is "asymptomatic".

it is characterized by discomfort LV filling may worsen and lead typically to a pressure increase of LV pressure and the left atrium (LA) (1). The onset of symptoms is unpredictable and may occur at the stage of diastolic or systolic dysfunction.

Read more

Ventricular dysfunction may be insidious, the goal is to detect early dysfunction, knowing that it is often very difficult to know if the patient is actually symptomatic. The onset of symptoms sign an intolerance to the increase in LV filling pressures and LA , causing pulmonary hypertension .

Therefore, the study of the level of LV and LA filling pressures , if possible by a noninvasive method, would identify patients apparently asymptomatic even though their condition is advanced.

Pressures filling pressures can be explored by two methods:

  • cardiac catheterization, which is a direct and invasive measurement method
  • echocardiography, which is an indirect measurement method which has the advantage of being non-invasive The goal of this research is to compare the two methods.

What is being measured

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

  1. quality of echocardiography

    Evaluate the diagnostic quality of echocardiography to measure the volume of the LA indexed to body surface area compared to cardiac catheterization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Valvular Disease, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 2 sites in France.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 28 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

quality of echocardiography. 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 28 May 2014.
