Trial summary

The bile acids has been demonstrated to cause arrhythmia and abnormal calcium dynamics in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Bile acids may alter maternal cardiomyocyte function like fetus.Increased P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion have been reported in various clinical settings. Read more about this study

About this study

The bile acids has been demonstrated to cause arrhythmia and abnormal calcium dynamics in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Bile acids may alter maternal cardiomyocyte function like fetus.Increased P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion have been reported in various clinical settings. The investigators hypothesized that PWD and p wave duration may affect in pregnancy with ICP.

Read the detailed description

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a pregnancy-specific liver disease. The most frequent laboratory abnormality is elevation of serum bile acid levels in ICP.

Bile acids increases both maternal and fetal circulation in ICP. The bile acids has been demonstrated to cause arrhythmia and abnormal calcium dynamics in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Raised maternal bile acid levels have been associated with fetal distress and arrhytmia in fetus.

P-wave dispersion (PWD) is defined as the difference between the maximum and the minimum P-wave durations measured on a 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Increased P-wave duration and PWD have been reported in various clinical settings, including atrial flutter, coronary artery disease, hypertension, rheumatic mitral stenosis, mitral annular calcification, obstructive sleep apnea, and obesity.

So the investigators think that bile acids may alter maternal cardiomyocyte function as fetus. The investigators hypothesized that PWD and p wave duration may affect in pregnancy with ICP.

The aim of this study is to investigate maternal P-wave duration and dispersion changes in pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy .

What is being measured

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

  1. change in the range of P-wave Duration and Dispersion

    A 12-lead surface ECG will obtain for all pregnants with icp in the supine position after a rest period of 10 minutes. Two consecutive cycles will record at a speed of 50 mm/sec and with an amplitude of 10mm/mV. All ECGs will examine by a designated cardiologist blinded to patient details. To improve accuracy, measurements will made using calipers and magnifying lens. Only participants with normal sinus rhythm on ECG will include in the final analysis

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy and Arrhythmia, run by Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Research and Education Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 18 Mar 2014. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 ayse kirbas, md (533 646 92 13, ayseozdemirkirbas@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in the range of P-wave Duration and Dispersion (time frame: one year). 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 18 Mar 2014.
