About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Remote Preconditioning on Heart Resistance to Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury

Strategies for myocardial protection during open heart surgeries are desired. Several experimental studies have shown beneficial effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC). The underlying mechanisms are not totally understood. This study intends to evaluate molecular mechanisms involved with RIPC on myocardium of patients underwent open heart surgeries.

Being tested
IRPC, Remote preconditioning
Keywords
ischemia, reperfusion, myocardial ischemia, myocardial reperfusion
Medical subject headings
Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Valve Diseases, Ischemia, Myocardial Ischemia

What participants receive

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

  • IRPC, Remote preconditioningProcedure or surgery

    The patients will be submitted to 5 minutes of upper limb compression by cuff followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion. This cycle will be repeated 4 times.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IRPC, Remote preconditioning in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Valvular Heart Disease, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2013. 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 Brazil. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Orlando Petrucci, MD, PhD (+55 19 97253335, petrucci@cardiol.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Molecular pathway activation (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Nov 2013.
