About this study

Official title: Influence of Electrode Placement on Electrical Velocimetry Cardiac Output Measurements

Electrical velocimetry (EV) is one of the latest adaptions of impedance cardiography showing diverging results. With electrode position being a suspected factor influencing measurement accuracy or reproducibility for impedance cardiography in general, no data is currently available on altering the gap of the two lower electrodes in EV. Reference values were determined using the non-invasive gold-standard cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02514863
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients undergoing CMRAssessment of hemodynamic function using: * CMR * EV with an inter-electrode gap (lower pair) of 5 cm * EV with an inter-electrode gap (lower pair) of 15 cm

What is being measured

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

  1. difference between CMR and EV cardiac output measurements

    Measured: 45 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. difference between two consecutive EV cardiac output measurements

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Universitätsmedizin Mannheim at 1 site 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 1 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 4 Aug 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 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?

difference between CMR and EV cardiac output measurements (time frame: 45 minutes). 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 4 Aug 2015.
