About this study

Official title: Identification and Quantification of a Mechanical Hyper-synchronicity State in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) With Left Outflow-tract Obstruction and Description of Its Electrical and Electro-mechanical Characteristics Thanks to an Innovative Multi-imaging Approach to Predict a Positive Response to Dual Chamber Pacing. The Hsync Study.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiovascular disease. Outflow-tract gradient of 30 mmHg or more under resting conditions is an independent determinant of symptoms of progressive heart failure and death.

The investigators hypothesize that the electrical approach by dual chamber pacing could improve symptoms and reduce outflow-tract obstruction in a specific sub-group of selected patients with a mechanical hyper-synchronicity. The aim of the study is to identify and describe this phenomenon in HCM with (O-HCM) and without (NO-HCM) outflow-tract obstruction thanks to innovative multi-imaging approach.

Read the detailed description

The concept of physiological ventricular desynchrony was described recently with technics of myocardial deformation analysis applied in animal models. Authors confirmed the existence of a time delay in the contraction of the apical walls before basal walls. In O-HCM, the outflow-tract obstruction could be explained by a mechanical hyper-synchronicity between apical and basal walls. This study aims to describe the possible hyper-synchronized contraction in O-HCM and NO-HCM patients unlike the physiological desynchrony observed in healthy volunteers (HV) For this purpose, three imaging tests will be used at baseline: echocardiography (TEE), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium enhancement only in HCM, and 3-dimensional electrocardiographic mapping (ECM) combined with computed tomography-scan. No follow-up is planned for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mechanical time delay in contraction between basal and apical walls in TEE and MRI in O-HCM, NO-HCM and healthy volunteers

    The main interest variable is the delay value (ms) of the contraction between basal and apical walls measured by TEE and MRI.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Relationship between each mesure with hyper-synchronicity and outflow-tract gradient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Echocardiography (TEE), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium enhancement and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without gadolinium enhancement in people with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Mechanical Hyper-synchronicity, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux 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 4 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 14 Feb 2022. 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?

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?

Mechanical time delay in contraction between basal and apical walls in TEE and MRI in O-HCM, NO-HCM and healthy volunteers (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT02559726, 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 14 Feb 2022.
