About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in the Diagnosis of Myocardial Ischemia

The investigators goal is to determine whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be utilized in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. For the study participants the investigators will recruit patients who have been referred to myocardial perfusion PET/CT scan in Kuopio University Hospital. The participants will perform the CPET on a cycle ergometer on separate day after the perfusion scan. The investigators will compare the results of the PET/CT scan and CPET and evaluate if the possible perfusion defects detected in PET/CT correlate with the gas exchange parameters in CPET.

The patients who receive invasive coronary treatment (coronary bypass surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention) will be invited to perform additional CPET ja PET/CT tests six months after the treatment. The goal will be to determine whether the recovery of myocardial perfusion can be assessed with gas exchange parameters in CPET.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of myocardial ischemia assessed by the myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography

    Regional myocardial perfusion below 2.3 ml/g/min measured by the quantitative positron emission tomography is a marker of myocardial ischemia

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Presence of myocardial ischemia assessed by the cardiopulmanary exercise test

    Criteria for myocardial ischemia that must be fulfilled are 1) Double sloping in the oxygen consumption/work rate trajectory, peak oxygen consumption below limit of the lowest normal, and abnormal oxygen pulse trajectory during the cardiopulmonary exercise test.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Invasive coronary treatment in people with Myocardial Ischemia, run by Kuopio University Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2021. 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 Finland. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Tomi Laitinen (+358-44-7113279, tomi.laitinen@kuh.fi), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence of myocardial ischemia assessed by the myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography (time frame: 6 months). 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 Aug 2021.
