About this study

An injury of haematosis in post ischemic chronic heart failure limits the clinic tolerance.

There is a correlation between injury of pulmonary diffusing, chronic heart failure intensity and aerobic physic ability evaluated by an heart-rate maximal exercise tolerance test (VO2 max). This injury is a new follow-up parameter of cardiac function for the adult.

The nature of damage (vascular or membrane) can be determined by the measure of double pulmonary diffusing capacity to carbon monoxide (CO) associated to nitric oxide (NO).

Today, in chronic heart failure consecutive to a congenital heart disease, there is no data on evolution of membrane and capillar factors.It is impossible to predict if membrane damage will be the best factor correlated to the VO2max in patients suffering from complex congenital heart disease.

Assessing these parameters could be an comparative evaluation of heart-rate exercise tolerance test with VO2max and an early control of his damage without risks related to heart-rate maximal exercise and independently of age, sex, hemoglobin, type of heart disease.These results would have an early prognostic value that would permit to refine the follow-up and the treatment.

The main objective of this trial is to assess the statistic correlation between the membrane injury of alveolar-capillary diffusing at rest and aerobic physic ability restriction in children and adults suffering from complex congenital heart disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Double pulmonary diffusingOther

    Measure of double pulmonary diffusing will be done as the single-breath test: the patient will be seated and connected to device by an oral tip. Measure begins by a maximal inhalation of a gas mixture (0.28% of CO, 14% of He, 21% of O2,450 ppm of NO/N2 and 40ppm of NO).After, the patient will maintain an apnea of 4 secondes and will breathe out in oral tip until his residual capacity.

    With the expired air, some parameters will be assessed:

    • Alveolar volume (VA)
    • Membrane ductance (Dm) and pulmonar capillary volume (values adjusted by Haemoglobin)
    • Values of TLCO, TLCO/VA, TLNO, TLNO/VA Vc, Dm, Vc/VA, Dm/VA, TLNO/TLCO et Dm/Vc

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Double pulmonary diffusing in people with Complex Congenital Heart Disease and Single Ventricle With Fontan Circulation or Bicavo-bipulmonary Bypass, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 5 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 7 Feb 2018. 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?

Membrane ductance (Dm) correlated with VO2max (time frame: at the time of evaluation at rest (15 minutes before exercise)). 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 7 Feb 2018.
