About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in patients with cirrhosis, and to analyze the correlation between the severity of cirrhosis and cardiac dysfunction. To investigate the risk factors for cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, and raise clinicians' awareness of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, early assessment and intervention to improve long-term outcomes in patients with cirrhosis.

Read the detailed description

Liver cirrhosis is the terminal stage of the development of chronic liver disease caused by various reasons, and it is often accompanied by multiple complications. Late cirrhosis is often accompanied by obvious changes in liver and systemic hemodynamics. Patients with liver cirrhosis are in a highly dynamic cycle Status: lower arterial blood pressure, increased heart rate, increased cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance, which often lead to changes in myocardial structure and function, called cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is defined as cardiac dysfunction in patients with end-stage liver disease in the absence of prior heart disease. The true burden of CCM among patients with ESLD is currently unknown. Prior studies evaluated CCM prevalence and estimated it to be approximately 50%, however, this estimate was based on the old criteria. In 2020, the Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy Association updated the diagnostic criteria for cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. At present, the true prevalence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy still needs to be reassessed. In addition, studies on the risk factors for cirrhotic cardiomyopathy are rare. Based on the above research background, carry out this research.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Cirrhosis and Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy, run by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University at 1 site in China.

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 11 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 25 Apr 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 China. 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?

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?

cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (time frame: Within 48 hours after hospitalization). 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 NCT04969055, 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 25 Apr 2022.
