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 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients suffering from heart failure and undergoing a planned cardiac catheterization as required by their medical condition will be asked to participate to the study. The inclusion criteria include heart failure regardless of its etiology. Patients with a left ventricle assistance device will not be enrolled because the high-frequency accelerations generated by the mechanical device and transmitted to the skin level will likely hamper the ballisto- and seismocardiographic signal.

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 y.o. to 80 y.o.
  • Heart failure

Who cannot join

  • Left ventricle assistance device
  • Refused participation

About this study

Official title: Do Abnormal Hemodynamic Features Generate Relevant Reactions and Vibrations at the Skin Level When Recorded by Micro Accelerometers

The ballistocardiography (BCG) and the seismocardiography (SCG) are old techniques recording the vibrations at the skin level generated by the acceleration and displacement of the blood and cardiac mass at each cardiac contraction. The former records the acceleration near the subject's center of mass, the latter at the local chest wall. So far, the unclear physiological origin of those acceleration signals has led to important ambiguities in their scientific and clinical interpretation. Therefore, several ongoing studies would aim to highlight the physiological genesis of those acceleration-induced signals.

Indeed, the main objective of this study is to correlate the BCG and SCG signals recorded at the body surface with several haemodynamic parameters recorded invasively during a cardiac catheterisation, pulmonary pressure, wedge pressure, cardiac output to cite a few.

Read the detailed description

Patients suffering from severe heart failure regardless of the etiology will undergo a cardiac catheterization as required by their medical condition.

The SCG and BCG signals will be recorded simultaneously to the catheterization by the mean of an unintrusive and friendly device consisting of two houses, the first one placed on sternum and the second one in the lumbar column. The device will record a continuous tracing synchronized with the intracavitary pressure profiles recorded during the invasive procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • Ballistocardiography and seismocardiographyDevice

    SCG and BCG signals will be recorded by the mean of an unobtrusive and friendly device consisting of two houses, the first one placed on the sternum and the second one place on the lumbar region near the subject's center of mass. The signal will be transferred to a tablet by Bluetooth and tracings will be analysed automatically with Matlab. The SCG+BCG signals are synchronized to the intracardiac pressure tracings in order to allow a comparative interpretation between the two tracings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Micro-accelerations recorded at the body's surface

    Analysis of heart-induced velocities (m/s) by the means of micro-accelerometers and secondary computation of the kinetic energy (KE= 1/2 mv²) recorded with the seismocardiography and ballistocardiography at the skin level during cardiac catheterization.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Erasme University Hospital.

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 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Micro-accelerations recorded at the body's surface (time frame: 6 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 25 Aug 2020.
