Trial summary

Secondary mitral insufficiency is a common complication of heart failure, aggravating symptoms and prognosis, and may be responsible for worsening dyspnea, pulmonary edema, and excess mortality. It is essentially a ventricular rather than a valvular disease, whose origin may be ischemic or not. Read more about this study

About this study

Secondary mitral insufficiency is a common complication of heart failure, aggravating symptoms and prognosis, and may be responsible for worsening dyspnea, pulmonary edema, and excess mortality. It is essentially a ventricular rather than a valvular disease, whose origin may be ischemic or not. It is induced by a geometrical and contractile modification of the left ventricle which causes an imbalance between the tensile and the closing forces of the mitral valve thus causing a defect of coaptation and the increase of the surface between the mitral leaves and the ring in systole (tenting). Dynamic mitral insufficiency is defined by changes in the degree of severity of regurgitation as a function of hemodynamic conditions.

During exercise, the course of mitral insufficiency is variable and is not predicted by the degree of regurgitation at rest. The worsening of the leak is also well correlated with the onset of dyspnea on exertion in patients with left Ventricular Ejection Fraction heart failure (LVEF reduced). Nevertheless, there is little data available in the literature on the factors predisposing to the development of stress-related mitral insufficiency, as well as its clinical and echocardiographic impact in the cardiac insufficiency patient, particularly in the case of preserved LVEF (6.7%).

The identification of echocardiographic data at rest to predict and anticipate the behavior of mitral insufficiency in the effort (aggravation or stability / disappearance), would allow a simplified evaluation and a better management in this population of patients for which the evaluation in echography of effort can be technically complex and limited (difficulty of quantification of the mitral leak, time of effort sometimes too short ...).

What is being measured

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

  1. Aggravation of secondary mitral insuffiency

    Il will measure an increase of the grade of severity of at least 1/4 compared to the rest.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Aggravation of secondary mitral insuffiency

    Il will measure an increase of the ORS of more than 0.5 cm² in case of IM Grade 4 at rest.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Disease, run by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 5 Feb 2020. 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?

Aggravation of secondary mitral insuffiency (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Feb 2020.
