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 to 70 years

Study population: Consecutive subjects were prospectively enrolled into 3 cohorts between July 2017 and June 2020. The cohorts were divided as follows: the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypertensive heart disease and control groups

Who may be able to join

  • Control group: (1) Absence of known systemic diseases; (2)Normal examinations(normal findings in both echocardiography and CMR).
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: 1) genetic determination of a pathogenic mutation or 2) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (end-diastolic wall thickness >15 mm) with resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction or 3) hypertrophy in a recognizable pattern, i.e., ventricular bulge in apical-variant HCM; Of note, patients with documented HCM were divided into subgroups based on whether concomitant with hypertension or left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.
  • Hypertensive Heart Disease: (1) Long durations of uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure≥150 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg); Echocardiography: left ventricular wall thickness in diastolic >11mm; Absence of other cardiac or systemic diseases; (2) left ventricular mass/body surface area >115 g/m2 (Male) or >95 g/m2 (Female).

Who cannot join

  • Documented coronary artery disease: previous history or CAG>50%;
  • NYHA Ⅳ level;
  • Severe aortic valve stenosis;
  • Standard metallic contraindications to CMR;
  • Systemic diseases or Infiltrative cardiomyopathy;
  • Septal ablation for drug-refractory hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

About this study

Official title: EARLY Differentiation of MYOcardial Hypertrophy Between Hypertensive Heart Disease and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Differentiating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from hypertensive heart disease (HHD) unavoidably encounters diagnostic challenges especially in patient of suspected HCM with history of hypertension. Diverse and overlapping forms of HCM can often lead to ambiguity when diagnosis is based on a single genetic or morphological index.

The investigators have deduced a integrated formula based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and established a differentiating flow-chart between HCM and HHD, the investigators aim to identify their method in the current multi-center trial.

Read the detailed description

Both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and hypertensive heart disease (HHD) present left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but the prognosis varies. Nevertheless, the feasibility of distinguishing these two conditions is limited by the fact that overlapping LVH and diverse forms of HCM can often lead to diagnostic ambiguity when diagnosis is based on a single morphological index. Diagnosis is more difficult in a patient with a history of hypertension and with left ventricular wall thickness between 11 and 15 mm. It also puzzles the situation when hypertrophy without outflow-track obstruction was found in hypertensive subjects which might not be explained solely by the history of hypertension.

The investigators have deduced an integrated formula based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and established a differentiating flow-chart between HCM and HHD. In this study, the investigators aim to explore the applicability of the quantifying scheme for distinguishing HCM from HHD in the multi-center trial.

What participants receive

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

  • evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formulaDiagnostic test

    After recruiting patients, collecting the baseline data, a CMR scan will be carried out and post-processed, a predetermined differentiating formula (including left ventricular morphology, ejection fraction, presence of late gadolinium enhancement, T1 value and strain data) will be used to produce a cardiac values, which is to be input into our differentiating flow.

Study groups in NCT03271385
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy groupThe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was diagnosed by left ventricular hypertrophy via echocardiography (wall thickness >15 mm) with either genetic determination of a pathogenic mutation or ) left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (end-diastolic wall thickness >15 mm) with resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction or hypertrophy in a recognisable pattern, i.e., ventricular bulge in apical-variant HCM. And then patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula
hypertensive heart disease groupThe diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease was based on medical history and conventional echocardiography. Long durations of uncontrolled hypertension for at least 5 years with systolic blood pressure [BP] ≥150 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥90 mm Hg or both in the absence of other cardiac or systemic diseases were used as criteria. And then patients with hypertensive heart disease were evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula
control groupThe healthy age-matched controls were generally volunteers with a normal electrocardiogram, normal echocardiographic examination, and overall normal CMR findings. And then patients with normal findings were were evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: evaluated by the predetermined differentiating formula

What is being measured

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

  1. validation of the algorithm in all patients

    Evaluate the area under the curve of our algorithm compared with single parameter (wall thickness, strain) in all patients

    Measured: after post-procession and complete the flow chart within 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. validation of the algorithm in subgroup patients

    Evaluate the area under the curve of our algorithm compared with single parameter (wall thickness, strain) in subgroup patients (HHD and HCM/HBP-; HHD and HCM/HBP+; HHD and HCM/OBSR-; HHD and HCM/HBP+/OBSR-)

    Measured: after post-procession and complete the flow chart within 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Hypertensive Heart Disease, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 17 Nov 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 China. 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?

validation of the algorithm in all patients (time frame: after post-procession and complete the flow chart within 24 hours). 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 17 Nov 2022.
