About this study

Official title: Correlation Between 3D Echocardiography and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients With Single Ventricle: A Cross-sectional Observational Multicenter Prospective Study

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of birth defects, with an incidence of 0.8%. Among CHD, univentricular heart disease or "single ventricle" is rare and complex. As a result of the improved patient care over the last decades, the number of children and adults with single ventricle is increasing significantly. Today, the main challenge is to ensure an optimal follow-up of these new patients in order to improve their life expenctancy as well as their quality of life (QoL). Currently, echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercice test (CPET) are central in management of patients with single ventricle as part of good clinical practice guidelines.

Single ventricle volumes and function are very difficult to asses with conventional echocardiography because of their complex geometry. Indeed, single ventricle size and morphology vary depending on the patient characteristics and on the initial CHD (before surgical repair). That's why conventional 2D echocardiographic parameters are not reliable for single ventricle assessment.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more effective in assessing single ventricle volumes and function. Nevertheless, MRI is not universally available, is not practical in many situations, is expensive, and is a relative contraindication in patients with pacemakers.

Over the past decade, the use of the 3D echocardiography has increased. This is an available tool that can assess ventricular function and volumes in few seconds. Recent studies shown a good correlation between 3D echocardiography and MRI for assessment of ventricular volumes and function in patient with CHD and especially in those with single ventricle.

Moreover, according to some authors, CPET parameters are strongly correlated with risk of hospitalization, risk of death, physical activity and quality of life, especially in patients with single ventricle.

To date, there is no study performed about the relationship between 3D echocardiography and CPET parameters in patients with single ventricle.

Read the detailed description

This is a cross-sectional, observational, multicenter, and prospective study Eligible patients will be included during their usual medical check-up. As recommended by guidelines, patients with single ventricle have an 2D echocardiography and a CPET annualy. Data required for this study will be collected from patient medical record.

3D echography data acquisition will be performed using 2D ultrasound post-processing by TOMTEC software. No supplementary visit, directly related to the research, will be necessary. This study does not change the usual care management of the patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Single-ventricle and Congenital Heart Disease, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 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 France. 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?

Association between single ventricle volumes and function parameters in 3D echocardiography (time frame: day 1). 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 NCT05118152, 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 27 Oct 2023.
