About this study

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between endothelial dysfunction, measured by RHI as assessed by the peripheral arterial tonometry method, and PE complications defined as re-event of PE or DVT, systemic embolism or all-cause mortality

Read the detailed description

200 Patients will be identified through routine daily scanning of imaging records (CT, Echocardiography) for patients diagnosed with PE. Presenting signs and symptoms as well as clinical and imaging findings during the initial presentation and hospitalization will be incorporated into a computerized pre-specified electronic CRF. During hospitalization, an endothelial function test will be performed 48 hours post admission. A trained technician will perform the test using the EndoPAT device in order to assess patient RHI, a score less than 1.67 will be considerate as endothelial dysfunction. Patients will then be followed for pre-specified clinical events of up to 1 year post discharge and especially the development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease, post thrombotic syndrome and clinical events. RHI will be assessed during 1-year follow up visit.

What participants receive

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

  • Endothelial dysfunction testDiagnostic test

    The endothelial function test will be assessed after 48 hours post admission and 1 year post discharge using the non-invasive Endo-PAT2000 device. The device is intended for use as a diagnostic aid in the detection of coronary artery endothelial dysfunction (positive or negative) using a reactive hyperemia procedure. It is based on the use of Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) signal technology, during a clinically established procedure, which measure post-ischemic vascular responsiveness following upper arm blood flow occlusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post PE complications

    The aim of this study is to investigate the association between endothelial dysfunction, measured by RHI as assessed by the peripheral arterial tonometry method, and PE complications defined as re-event of PE or DVT, systemic embolism or all-cause mortality

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Augmentation Index (AI)

    To investigate the association between arterial stiffness as measured by Augmentation Index and post PE complications.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. HRV

    To investigate the association between Heart Rate Variability and post PE complications.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nir Shlomo, MSc (052-7205057, nir.shlomo@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post PE complications (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT03149471, which also lists 12 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 11 May 2017.
