Trial summary

HFpEF has gradually become the most common form of heart failure. Studies have found that metabolic abnormalities and chronic inflammation ultimately lead to HFpEF by promoting heart remodeling. However, there are few relevant studies and the mechanism is still unclear. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Heart Function and Metabolism in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients

HFpEF has gradually become the most common form of heart failure. Studies have found that metabolic abnormalities and chronic inflammation ultimately lead to HFpEF by promoting heart remodeling. However, there are few relevant studies and the mechanism is still unclear.

Read the detailed description

However, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is difficult to diagnose and treat due to its unknown pathogenesis and poor prognosis. Ventricular diastolic dysfunction and retention of left ventricular ejection fraction are important pathological features of Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Currently, it is widely believed to be a clinical syndrome associated with old age, women, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, etc. However, the specific mechanism of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction caused by the above-mentioned complications is unknown. In conclusion, the investigators intend to explore the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by observing the changes of heart and body metabolism in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and provide a basis for the diagnosis and treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, run by Chongqing Medical 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 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?

Contact Dongying Zhang, doctor (+8613608398395, zdy.chris@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Muscle mass (time frame: On admission). 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 24 Aug 2022.
