About this study

Official title: Measurement of Cardiac Elastography: an Intraoperative Cardiac Surgery Study. Cardiac Elastography in Vivo

Since 20 years, the techniques of direct measurement of cardiac stiffness in the diagnosis of myocardial diseases do not exist.

We propose a human study evaluating the direct measurement of cardiac ultrasound stiffness by elastography.

This study will include 30 patients with cardiac disease whose rigidity varies with underlying disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the stiffness during open heart surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Young's Modulus measurement according to the equation E = Young 3ρCs ²

    Ultrasound acquisition will be completed in epicardial vue using a linear probe SuperLinear 15-4 ™ connected to an ultrasound (AixplorerTM ® from Supersonic Imagine). The acquisitions will be completed in mode B + Elastrography Shear Wave ™ (SWE). A sterile gel is deposited in the bottom of the pouch of sterile protection of the probe. Many measurements will be done on accessible left and right ventricle areas.

    Measurement of Young's modulus: automated by the onboard model according to the equation E = Young 3ρCs ², where E is the Young's elastic modulus software, ρ is the tissue density and Cs the velocity of shear wave

    Measured: During herat surgery (Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. diastolic function parameters

    Correlation between young's modulus and diastolic function parameters is assess after surgery by post processing

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diastolic Dysfunction and Cardiac Stiffness, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site 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 7 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 12 Jan 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Eric Saloux, MD (+330231064901, saloux-e@chu-caen.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Young's Modulus measurement according to the equation E = Young 3ρCs ² (time frame: During herat surgery (Day 0)). 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 12 Jan 2015.
