Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to (1) quantify cardiovascular anatomy and physiology using magnetic resonance imaging under both resting and exercise conditions in patients who have congenital heart disease and in age-matched normal volunteers, (2) use computer models to reproduce and simulate blood flow in these… Read more about this study

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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: LPCH and Stanford clinics

Who may be able to join

  • patients will have congenital heart disease or acquired cardiopulmonary disease.
  • normal volunteers will be willing to undergo MRI

Who cannot join

  • patients unable to receive intravenous contrast material (this does not apply to normal volunteers)
  • subjects with arrhythmias which will prevent MRI cardiac gating
  • subjects with illnesses which make participation inappropriate. In addition, patients who would normally be excluded from an MRI study because of pacemaker implant, aneurysm clip, severe claustrophobia, or any other condition which, based on the Investigator's judgment, would preclude proximity to a strong magnetic field will be excluded from this study as well.
  • NORMAL VOLUNTEERS may be excluded if they are not able to remain still during the exam or follow the instructions of the investigators.

About this study

Official title: MR Imaging and Computational Simulation of Cardiovascular Physiology Including Velocity, Pressure, and Wall Shear Stress

The purpose of this study is to (1) quantify cardiovascular anatomy and physiology using magnetic resonance imaging under both resting and exercise conditions in patients who have congenital heart disease and in age-matched normal volunteers, (2) use computer models to reproduce and simulate blood flow in these patients, and then (3) to combine the imaging data and computer models to estimate values which cannot be directly measured and to predict physiological changes induced by exercise and medical or surgical therapies.

Read the detailed description

Investigators hope to gain a greater understanding of the hemodynamics of congenital heart disease and their associated operations as they pertain to real-life situations (i.e. upright and non-sedentary, rest and exercise). With this knowledge, investigators would look to optimize the geometry and physiology of the patients, potentially reducing several of the long-term complications found in congenital heart disease patients such as cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, arrhythmias, thrombosis and heart failure.

What participants receive

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

  • Magnetic Resonance ImagingOther

    All subjects will undergo or have already undergone Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Normal volunteers will be used for comparison with subjects. To minimize risk, normal volunteers will NOT undergo anesthesia, sedation or receive intravenous contrast during procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Stanford 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 4 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Wall Shear Stress (time frame: 20 years). 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 Dec 2024.
