Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subject with a confirmed hypertension before any anti-hypertensive treatment more than 10 years ago. Patients are selected according their date of inclusion in the cohort. The investigators will start to contact the most recently recruited patients.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient who was diagnosed as hypertensive more than 10 years ago and who underwent cardiac-echography, ECG, a biological blood test and an ambulatory blood pressure measurement before the introduction of antihypertensive treatment.

Who cannot join

  • Oral refusal of patient participation or its legal representatives, reading the specific information note for the study.

About this study

Official title: Predictive Factors of Systolic Dysfunction in Non-complicated Hypertensive Patients (GLS OBservationAL Study in HyperTensioN - GLOBAL-HTN)

Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Heart failure is one of its main complications but the factors that influence its development are still insufficiently known. The primary objective is to determine associated factors to the occurrence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction assessed by an alteration of the Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) after more than the years of hypertension. The secondary objective is to estimate the prevalence of LV systolic dysfunction in a cohort of hypertensive people followed for over 10 years and formulate pathophysiological hypotheses on the development of this heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Some of the hypertensive patients will develop a post hypertensive heart disease. This hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is now essentially defined by the association of LV hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction. Investigators believe this hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is also characterized by early impairment of systolic function but mainly in its longitudinal component (assessed by measuring the GLS) and therefore exposed to cardiovascular events.

The work is based on an existing cohort of hypertensive patients included more than 10 years ago before any initiation of antihypertensive therapy in the hypertension unit of the Bordeaux University Hospital, France. Patients will be contacted for further consultation with a cardiologist to identify patients with a LV systolic dysfunction. The primary end-point is a decrease of the longitudinal systolic function with a GLS<-17% for men and <-19% for women.

A sufficient number of patients will be contacted in order to collect data of at least 400 patients after more than 10-year of follow-up.

What participants receive

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

  • Cardiac echographyDevice

    The exam is in the left lateral decubitus position. 4 electrodes are applied to the patient's chest for a synchronization with the Electrocardiogram (ECG). The examination is conducted as standard with acquisition loops of records in parasternal long axis parasternal short axis, apical 4-cavities, 2-cavities and aorta 2 cavities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of GLS

    GLS measurement is a percentage obtained on cuts apical 4-chamber, 2-aortic cavities and 2 cavities (average of 3 impacts) after locating the aortic pulsed Doppler of the opening and closing of the aortic valve.

    GLS < -17% for men and < -19% for women.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, 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 1 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 9 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?

Measure of GLS (time frame: Day 1). 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 9 Feb 2022.
