About this study

The relationship between the activation of the vasopressin system and central hemodynamics in heart failure (including right and left heart filling pressures and cardiac output) is not clear. The investigators intend to examine the correlation between levels of copeptin and vasopressin and the central hemodynamic system in patients with advanced (class III or IV) heart failure. The investigators also aim to examine the relationship of selected cardiac biomarkers in blood and urine with cardiac filling pressures and cardiac output in patients with decompensated heart failure.

The study population will consist of 30 patients admitted to the Department of Cardiology at Copenhagen University Hospital. Only patients for whom the attending cardiologist has already decided upon right heart catheterization for clinical/treatment reasons will be recruited for the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Finn Gustafsson at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2015. 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Finn Gustafsson, MD, DMSc (004535459743, finng@dadlnet.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The correlation between levels of plasma copeptin and vasopressin with left ventricular filling pressure and cardiac output (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT01748006, 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 28 Oct 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
