About this study

Official title: Multiscale Approach to Describe the Evolution of Molecular Biomarkers in Acute Heart Failure Induced by Shock

The relationship between shock, ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury, hemodynamic instability, systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiorgan failure has been extensively investigated, but there is no consensus on the trigger mechanisms of tissue injury at the molecular level.

Current therapies are targeted to reduce symptoms of shock and multiorgan damage but they are unable to act at the "beginning of the cascade", because of the lack of a model explaining the molecular basis of shock induced tissue injury and ensuing organ damage.

The present observational study is aimed at identifying the molecular triggers of acute heart failure (HF) induced by shock and to identify inflammatory mediators and markers that are activated in shock, with a particular emphasis on the role of uncontrolled proteolytic activity.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02141607
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hemorrhagic ShockHypovolemic shock characterized by: * Hypotension: systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg or a drop of > 40 mm Hg from baseline or mean arterial pressure < 70 mm Hg persisting despite adequate fluid resuscitation. * Rapid loss of significant amount of blood * Lactate levels ≥ 2 mmol/L
Cardiogenic shockState of inadequate circulation of blood because of ventricular failure due to acute cardiac conditions, concomitant presence of: * Hypotension: systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg or a drop of > 40 mm Hg from baseline or mean arterial pressure < 70 mm Hg persisting despite adequate fluid resuscitation. * Need for a continuous infusion of inotropic drugs * Cardiac Index <2.2 L/min/m2 or use of inotropic drugs (dobutamine/isoprenaline/phosphodiesterase inhibitors or levosimendan) * Signs of reduced heart function * Cardiac overload or altered left/right ventricular function
Septic shockSeptic shock is defined as sepsis-induced hypotension, defined as systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg or a drop of > 40 mm Hg from baseline or mean arterial pressure < 70 mm Hg persisting despite adequate fluid resuscitation. Only community medical acquired sepsis with a sepsis onset within 48 hours from hospital admission (i.e. different from nosocomial infection). Lactate levels ≥ 2mmol/L.
control groupThe control group will consist on: 1. 5 healthy blood donors: serving only for the purposes of obtaining reference values for proteomics analysis 2. a cohort of 20 patients hospitalized for sepsis OR cardiac syndromes not developing shock: will be recruited from patients admitted to the hospital during the study period. The clinical status of the patients will be assessed during hospitalization to ascertain shock and AHF development. Shock development will be an exclusion criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression/occurrence of acute heart failure and changes in omics markers in acute phase of shock

    The clinical endpoint will be Acute Heart Failure (AHF), assessed by a pool of measures/estimates of cardiac function and filling pressures, based on cardiac output monitoring, inotropic drugs requirements, left and right ventricles assessment using echocardiography.

    The molecular biomarkers changes will be evaluated by means of proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis of blood samples collected at the ICU admission and within 48hr after admission.

    Measured: within 48 hr after admission in ICU (acute phase of shock)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression/Occurence of Acute Heart Failure and changes in omics markers in survivors

    The clinical endpoints will be:

    1. The Acute Heart Failure (AHF) assessed by a pool of measures/estimates of cardiac function and filling pressures, based on cardiac output monitoring, inotropic drugs requirements, left and right ventricles assessment using echocardiography. AHF will be at evaluated within 7 days after ICU admission.
    2. Mechanical ventilation (MV)-free days or organ support (vasopressor, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), etc.) free-days
    3. Survival to ICU
    4. Prognosis at discharge from the ICU (objective - dead or alive, morbidities - and subjective)
    5. Prognosis at discharge from the hospital (objective - dead or alive, morbidities - and subjective).

    The changes in molecular biomarkers will be evaluated by means of proteomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis of blood samples collected within 7 days after ICU admission

    Measured: within 7 days after admission in ICU (patient stabilization)
