About this study

Background It is known from previous research that in patients with complete AV (atrioventricular) block and pacemaker stimulation stroke volume and cardiac output are higher with AV-synchronous than with AV-dyssynchronous pacing. However, the extent to which patients profited from AV-synchronous stimulation varied substantially.

Aim of the study Aim of this study is to systematically analyze the impact of diastolic function and other echo parameters on the difference of stroke volumes/cardiac output between AV-synchronous and AV-dyssynchronous pacing modes.

Methods Patients fulfilling the entry criteria will be enrolled (two-chamber pacemaker of any vendor eligible) in this monocentric, prospective, interventional study. Baseline data will be collected with a standardized questionnaire. During an echo examination, parameters of diastolic, systolic and atrial function will be assessed. Then, the stroke volume/cardiac output will be measured twice in each patient, once with AV-synchronous and once with AV-dyssynchronous pacing. Therefore, each patient will represent their own control. It will be randomized (coin tossing) which stimulation mode is first and which is second (sonographer and patient will be blinded). Descriptive statistics will be applied and regression models will be fitted to explore the data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pacemaker stimulation mode in people with Diastolic Function and Cardiac Output, run by Kepler University Hospital at 1 site in Austria.

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 6 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 21 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 Austria. 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?

Effect of left ventricular diastolic function on the change of cardiac output between AV-synchronous and AV-asynchronous pacing modes. (time frame: During echo examination.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04068233, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Feb 2020.
