About this study

Proposed novel solution for high-risk heart disease Overall in-hospital mortality among ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is 3-4%, but >50% patients experiencing cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to STEMI die in the hospital. Evidence suggests early diagnosis and treatment of CS results in improved outcomes, albeit, there is no tool to diagnose CS reliably in a timely fashion in STEMI patients through the continuous monitoring. We hypothesize that bioimpedance-derived hemodynamic measures obtained using the Non-Invasive Cardiac System (NICaS) can facilitate early detection of CS, predict outcomes, and revolutionize the STEMI patient management. The objectives of SHOCk-NICaS study in STEMI patients are to: a) identify the CS early, using NICaS derived cardiac index of ≤1.8L/min/m2 or ≤2.2L/min/m2 with the use of vasopressor and/or inotropes, and compare it with the incidence of CS based upon lactate level ≥2mmol/L, and systolic blood pressure <90mmHg; b): determine the impact of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), using NICaS derived hemodynamic measures (stroke volume, cardiac index, cardiac power index, etc), by comparing pre- and post-angioplasty; and c) identify outcome-associated hemodynamic markers. A composite score of death during hospital stay, prolonged hospitalization due to heart failure (>72hrs), and use of inotropic or mechanical circulation support is a primary outcome.

Methodology This is a multi-center, double-blind, prospective cohort study enrolling STEMI patients aged ≥18years visiting at 4 cardiac centers (St Boniface, St. Michael's, McGill University Hospital). Using validated NICaS protocol, hemodynamic parameters will be recorded at baseline, during the PPCI procedure, and within 24-hour post PPCI without altering the standard care. Statistical analysis: Baseline data will be reported as mean±SD or median±interquartile range. The outcomes will be assessed using multivariable logistic regression. We will analyze the impact of age, sex, gender, and ethnicity on hemodynamic measures. The targeted 500 patients will ensure a margin of error of 5% at a 95% CI. So far recruited 76 STEMI patients mark the study feasibility.

Significance This novel study in high-risk STEMI patients will provide a promising cost-effective, rapid, and non-invasive tool to identify CS early; a prompt intervention may curtail the high morbidity and mortality. The meticulously designed pragmatic study outcomes may revolutionize STEMI patient management.

What participants receive

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

  • Non-Invasive Cardiac SystemDevice

    Non-Invasive Cardiac System (NICaS, NI Medical, Israel) is a non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system that records various cardiovascular parameters including stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index (CI), total peripheral vascular resistance, body water content, and cardiac power index, a marker of myocardial contractility by employing the principles of the whole body impedance cardiography.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prolonged hospitalization due to heart failure (> 96 hours)

    Documented pulmonary edema on x-ray chest, elevated BNP or initiation of diuretic therapy lasting longer than 24 hours.

    Measured: At 7 days

  2. Use of inotropic - vasopressor therapy

    Use of norepinephrine, epinephrine, milrinone, dobutamine, or dopamine

    Measured: At 7 days

  3. Use of mechanical circulation support

    Intra aortic balloon pump, impella or extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) insertion

    Measured: At 7 days

  4. Death

    Measured: At 7 days

  5. Death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Patients, run by University of Manitoba at 1 site in Canada.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ashish H Shah, MD, MD-Res (UK),MRCP (204-237-2315, ashah5@sbgh.mb.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prolonged hospitalization due to heart failure (> 96 hours) (time frame: At 7 days). The study lists 6 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 14 Oct 2020.
