About this study

The purpose of this prospective single-center trial is to compare the safety and diagnostic value of contrast medium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Read the detailed description

Primary safety objective: Contrast medium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is safe in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Primary outcome: The diagnostic value of contrast medium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is comparable to transesophageal echocardiography in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of contrast medium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to detect echocardiography-proven cardiac sources of embolism in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

    Measured: < 1 week after ischemic stroke

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of unrecognised myocardial infarction detected by late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac MRI in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

    Measured: < 1 week after ischemic stroke

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 2 sites in Germany.

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 5 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 Nov 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

Sensitivity and specificity of contrast medium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to detect echocardiography-proven cardiac sources of embolism in patients with acute ischemic stroke. (time frame: < 1 week after ischemic stroke). 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 NCT01917955, 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 8 Nov 2016.
