Trial summary

This study is a retrospective analysis where coronary arteriograms are being analyzed to determine whether the presence of tortuous coronary arteries correlate with any specific measures of left ventricular mass or left ventricular function on echocardiography. Read more about this study

Normal coronary arteriesPatients in whom coronary arteriography has demonstrated no significant tortuosity.
Receives: Other: No intervention. Observational study
Tortuous coronary arteriesPatients in whom coronary arteriography has demonstrated tortuous coronary arteries defined as >1 major bend of >45 degrees in a major coronary artery
Receives: Other: No intervention. Observational study

What is being measured

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

  1. Degree of longitudinal shortening

    Measurement of longitudinal shortening of the left ventricle measured on an echocardiography (retrospectively) that was performed within 3 months of the angiogram

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. LV mass

    Measurement of longitudinal shortening of the left ventricle measured on an echocardiography (retrospectively) that was performed within 3 months of the angiogram

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Vessels and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

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 27 Sep 2016. 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 United States. 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?

Degree of longitudinal shortening (time frame: 3 months). 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 27 Sep 2016.
