About this study

The purpose of this research study is to determine the role of blood vessel endothelial function in heart failure and the effect of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) on heart and endothelial function.

Being tested
Subcutaneous adipose tissue collection, Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT)
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Subcutaneous adipose tissue collectionProcedure or surgery

    During standard of care device implantation procedure, a small piece of fat tissue will be removed from the device pocket inside the chest

  • Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT)Diagnostic test

    Also called EndoPAT

    Non-invasive testing for blood vessel function. Specially designed finger probes placed on the middle finger of each hand. Pulsatile volume changes of the distal digit inducing pressure alterations in the finger cuff will be sensed by pressure transducers and recorded. Endothelial function will be measured via a reactive hyperemia (RH)-PAT index (RHI)

Receives: Procedure: Subcutaneous adipose tissue collection; Diagnostic Test: Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT)
Control GroupActive comparatorParticipants undergoing device pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation or pack change for sinus node dysfunction or Atrioventricular (AV) block as part of standard of care will receive EndoPAT testing and collection of subcutaneous adipose tissue
Receives: Procedure: Subcutaneous adipose tissue collection; Diagnostic Test: Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in vascular endothelial function

    Vascular endothelial function will be measured using peripheral arterial tonometry as the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) at baseline and at 3 months.

    Measured: baseline, 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Subcutaneous adipose tissue collection and Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) in people with Heart Failure, run by Mayo Clinic 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2023. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to COVID and staffing issues study was terminated). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change in vascular endothelial function (time frame: baseline, 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 18 Jan 2023.
