Trial summary

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a parameter that should be evaluated rapidly to the patients, admitted to the emergency department with shortness of breath. The investigators aimed to investigate correlation between LVEF and 4 different mitral valve movements which alternate to the classical LVEF… Read more about this study

About this study

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a parameter that should be evaluated rapidly to the patients, admitted to the emergency department with shortness of breath. The investigators aimed to investigate correlation between LVEF and 4 different mitral valve movements which alternate to the classical LVEF assessing methods and evaluate these methods can be used or not in the emergency department.

Read the detailed description

A prospective observational study was conducted in an acutely dyspneic patients with receiving echocardiagraphy by the chief physicians. Measurements were performed before echocardiography lab by the physician who conducted the survey in the emergency department. In parasternal long axis view mitral valve E-Point Septal Separation (EPSS) M-Mod measurements and mitral valve anterior leaflet and septal distance (P-ALSS) B-Mod measurements and in apical four chamber view mitral valve anterior leaflet and septal distance (A-ALSS) B-Mod measurements and distance between mitral valve anterior and posterior leaflets (MVLS) B-Mod measurements were acquired as the minimum distance in diastole. LVEF of patients were measured by cardiologist. Correlation of the all values between LVEF and sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood probabilities were calculated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dyspneic patients were evaluated for their left ventricular ejection fraction by new methods with using transthoracic echocardiography.

    New methods are described: First measurement is distance between mitral valve anterior leaflet and septum in early diastole in the parasternal long axis view m-mode in millimeter.second measurement is distance between mitral valve anterior leaflet and septum in early diastole in the parasternal long axis view b-mode in millimeter. third is the distance between mitral valve anterior leaflet and septum in the apical four chamber view b-mode in millimeter. forth is the distance between mitral valve anterior and posterior leaflet in apical four chamber b-mode in millimeter.

    Measured: up to 2 hours after admitting to the emergency department

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart; Disease, Mitral(Valve), run by Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital.

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 9 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Dyspneic patients were evaluated for their left ventricular ejection fraction by new methods with using transthoracic echocardiography. (time frame: up to 2 hours after admitting to the emergency department). 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 NCT02657824, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 9 Feb 2016.
