About this study

Official title: Study of Polymorphisms of Renin Angiotensin Aldosteron Systemv(RAAS) and Matrice Metallo Protesase (MMPs) in Acute Heart Failure (AHF)

this study aim to investigate the:

  • association of RAAS polymorphisms and AHF
  • association of MMP 3 and 12 polymorphisms and AHF
Read the detailed description

Heart failure can be defined as a complex clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional disorder of the heart, with impairment of ability to fill the ventricles or eject blood. The main event of the IC is dyspnea and fatigue, which limit exercise tolerance and induces water retention.

The renin angiotensin aldosterone system governs the salt and water homeostasis in the body. Renin is a proteolytic enzyme secreted by the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney (area near the glomeruli). Renin has no direct action on the organism, but that is part of the renin-angiotensin system or the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is known.

To date, few published studies have examined the association between the polymorphism AGT M235T * and cardiac dysfunction; and available results are contradictory. What is not known yet is the ratio of this polymorphism with the prognosis of heart failure.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02170961
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
acute heart failure (AHF)patients consulting the emergency department for dyspnea. the diagnosis of AHF was based on clinical, biological (BNP) and echocardiographic data.
Non acute heart failure (NAHF)patients consulting the emergency department for dyspnea. the diagnosis of AHF was based on clinical, biological (BNP) and echocardiographic data.

What is being measured

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

  1. mortality RAAS

    the association between RAAS genes polymorphisms and mortality at one year average

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. association between RAAS polymorphism and AHF

    the association between the diagnosis of AHF (based on clinical, BNP, and echocardiographic finds) and the RAAS genes polymorphism is studied at patient admission for acute dyspnea.

    Measured: at admission (an average of 1 day)

  2. association between MMP polymorphism and AHF

    the association between the diagnosis of AHF (based on clinical, BNP, and echocardiographic finds) and the MMP genes polymorphism is studied at patient admission for acute dyspnea.

    Measured: at admission (average of 1 day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Heart Failure, run by University of Monastir at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 11 Aug 2020. 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 Tunisia. 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?

mortality RAAS (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 11 Aug 2020.
