Trial summary

Frequent premature ventricular beats (PVBs) are common, negatively affects the quality of life for many patients, and can lead to impaired contractile function. Rule-out of structural heart disease is key in the assessment of PVBs. Read more about this study

About this study

Frequent premature ventricular beats (PVBs) are common, negatively affects the quality of life for many patients, and can lead to impaired contractile function. Rule-out of structural heart disease is key in the assessment of PVBs. Cardiac MR has a high sensitivity for structural heart disease, but the diagnostic gain from this resource-demanding procedure in the work-up of patients with PVBs is unknown. There is a need to establish the role of MR in the evaluation of patients with PVBs to improve diagnostic efficacy, establish treatment strategies, and promote further research. This project will answer three key questions: 1) What is the diagnostic gain from cardiac MR in patients with PVBs? 2) Is MR the real gold standard to rule-out structural heart disease in patients with PVBs? 3) Can non-invasive heart rate parameters guide the strategy for induction of PVBs during invasive electrophysiological procedures?

Being tested
Invasive cardiac electrophysiological study and ablation therapy, Cardiopulmonary exercise testing, Cardiac MRI, Holter monitoring, Transthoracic echocardiography

What participants receive

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

  • Invasive cardiac electrophysiological study and ablation therapyProcedure or surgery

    Invasive cardiac electrophysiological study with cathecholamine provocation and pacing procedures, as well as standard 3D mapping and PVC ablation

  • Cardiopulmonary exercise testingDiagnostic test

    Standard ergometer bicycle test

  • Cardiac MRIDiagnostic test

    Cardiac MRI with cine-imaging and late-gadolinium enhancement

  • Holter monitoringDiagnostic test

    24h 5 lead or 12 lead ECG recording

  • Transthoracic echocardiographyDiagnostic test

    2D echocardiography

  • Coronary angiographyDiagnostic test

    Conventional invasive coronary angiography or CT angiography as indicated

What is being measured

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

  1. MRI-based evidence of structural heart disease

    Evidence of structural heart disease from MRI compared to echocardiography

    Measured: 3-5 years

  2. PVC induction vs PVC/HR-relationship

    Correlation of method for induction of PVCs during invasive procedure vs PVC/HR relationship during CPET

    Measured: 3-5 years

  3. EPS-based evidence of structural heart disease

    Evidence of structural heart disease from invasive electrophysiology vs MRI and echo

    Measured: 3-5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventricular Premature Complexes, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 2 Nov 2023. 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 Norway. 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 Mathis K Stokke, MD PhD (90696883 ext. +47, m.k.stokke@medisin.uio.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MRI-based evidence of structural heart disease (time frame: 3-5 years). The study lists 3 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 2 Nov 2023.
