About this study

The aim of this study is to utilize lung ultrasound to detect the development of extravascular lung water in patients undergoing clinically indicated invasive hemodynamic exercise stress testing for symptomatic shortness of breath. The study will correlate the lung ultrasound findings with cardiac hemodynamics and measurements of extravascular lung water in an effort to better understand the pathophysiology of exertional dyspnea.

Read the detailed description

Exercise induced elevation of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures can be the source of chronic dyspnea. Ultimately, high LV filling pressure leads to the development of extravascular lung water (EVLW) which can cause symptoms of dyspnea. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a highly feasible, non-invasive procedure that is extremely sensitive for detecting EVLW. The sonographic signature of EVLW is a reverberation artifact called a "B-Line". The study will evaluate the etiology of sonographic B-Lines using invasive hemodynamic catheterization while simultaneously measuring the amount of EVLW present during exercise stress testing using transpulmonary thermodilution. The study aim is to demonstrate that the severity of EVLW, assessed by number of B-Lines, will correlate with LV filling pressures. In addition, the study will test the hypothesis that patients demonstrating dynamic increases in sonographic B-Lines with exercise will also display more severe symptoms of dyspnea, altered ventilatory mechanics (higher ratio of minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2)), and reduced aerobic capacity (lower peak oxygen consumption (VO2)).

What participants receive

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

  • Lung ultrasoundDiagnostic test

    Also called Pulmonary Thermodilution

    Lung ultrasound will be performed at baseline (resting), prior to exercise with passive leg elevation, after 1.5 minutes of 20 Watts exercise, during each subsequent stage, at peak workload and at 1 minute recovery. Pulmonary thermodilution will be performed at rest, peak stress and at 1 minute recovery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of the Number of Lung Ultrasound B-Lines With Intra-cardiac Filling Pressures

    Lung ultrasound will be performed during invasive stress testing. The number of B-lines visible during stress testing will be correlated with synchronous measurements of intra-cardiac filling pressures .

    Measured: Lung ultrasound imaging for B-Lines and assessment of intracardiac hemodynamics will be performed during the scheduled invasive stress test (initial visit, day #1).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Correlation of the Number of Lung Ultrasound B-Lines With Ventilatory Mechanics.

    Lung ultrasound will be performed during invasive stress testing. The number of B-lines visible during stress testing will be correlated with synchronous measurements ventilatory mechanic parameters measured using expiratory gas.

    Measured: Lung ultrasound imaging and assessment of ventilatory mechanics (using analysis of expired gas) will be performed during the scheduled invasive stress test (initial visit, day #1).

  2. Correlation of the Number of Lung Ultrasound B-Lines Developed During Invasive Stress Testing With Measurement of Extravascular Lung Water.

    Lung ultrasound will be performed during invasive stress testing. The number of B-lines visible during stress testing will be correlated with synchronous measurements extravascular lung water using transpulmonary thermodilution.

    Measured: Lung ultrasound imaging and assessment of the amount of extravascular lung water using transpulmonary thermodilution will be performed during the scheduled invasive stress test (initial visit, day #1).

  3. Lung Ultrasound B-Lines Developed During Invasive Stress and the Calculated Amount of Extravascular Lung Water Will be Correlated With Changes in the Levels of Serum Protein, Hemoglobin and Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels.

    Lung ultrasound will be performed during invasive stress testing. The number of B-lines visible during stress testing will be correlated with synchronous measurements extravascular lung water using transpulmonary thermodilution. In addition, serum levels of hemoglobin, protein and brain natriuretic peptide will be collected, synchronously, during the stress test.

    Measured: Serum biomarkers, lung ultrasound and assessment of extravascular lung water will be performed during the scheduled invasive stress test (initial visit, day #1).

  4. Correlation of the Number of Lung Ultrasound B-Lines Developed During Invasive Stress Testing With Clinical Outcomes.

    Lung ultrasound will be performed during invasive stress testing. The number of B-lines visible during stress testing will be correlated with patient clinical outcomes defined as a composite outcome of hospital readmission, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular death.

    Measured: 24 months post-stress test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lung ultrasound in people with Dyspnea and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jul 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Correlation of the Number of Lung Ultrasound B-Lines With Intra-cardiac Filling Pressures (time frame: Lung ultrasound imaging for B-Lines and assessment of intracardiac hemodynamics will be performed during the scheduled invasive stress test (initial visit, day #1).). 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?
