Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The medical records of patients who have STEMI will be reviewed to determine preliminary eligibility according to patient inclusion/exclusion criteria. After a patient signs an informed consent for this study, he/she is considered enrolled in the study. An informed consent including privacy authorization must be obtained prior to the enrollment. The signed Patient Informed Consent should be kept with the study documentation and must be available for monitoring.

Who may be able to join

  • > 18 years of age
  • STEMI (defined by symptoms of myocardial ischemia accompanied by persistent elevation of the ST segment on ECG and the subsequent rise of biomarkers of myocardial necrosis)
  • Ability to provide informed consent and to complete the study and required follow-up

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy
  • Pre-existing ICD or CRT-D implantation

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of LVEF Non-recovery After Acute Myocardial Infarction

This is a prospective observational study of consecutive patients presenting with STEMI to the Prince of Wales Hospital over a 12-month period. All patients will receive standard of care including reperfusion and GDMT irrespective of study enrolment. Patient will be followed for 9 months after enrolled in this study. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) using a hand-held ultrasound (Vscan, GE Healthcare) will be performed to assess baseline LVEF within 48 hours of admission. Patients with baseline moderate-to-severe LV dysfunction by visual POCUS assessment (i.e. LVEF <40%) will be recruited for follow-up LVEF assessment at 3 months. Patients with persistent LVEF <40% by POCUS will undergo formal echocardiography to confirm LVEF by either 2D area (Simpson's rule) and 3D volumetric measurements. In 9 month visit, patient's clinical data will be collected and no echo is needed during this visit.

In 9 month visit, patient's clinical data will be collected and no echo is needed during this visit.

Categorical variables were presented in frequency tables and were compared using the Pearson Chi square test if all cell sizes were more than 5, or Fisher exact test if otherwise. Parametric and nonparametric continuous variables were expressed as mean ± SD and median (interquartile range) and were compared using the Student t test and Mann-Whitney U test, respectively. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 24.0

What is being measured

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

  1. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) assessment

    LVEF is equal or below 35% proved that patients have poor left ventricular ejection fraction.

    LVEF is 36-49% proved that ejection blood function of heart is below normal. LVEF is 50-75% proved that ejection blood function of heart is normal.

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Death

    Death

    Measured: 9 months

  2. NYHA heart failure class

    Class I - No symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity, e.g. shortness of breath when walking, climbing stairs etc.

    Class II - Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity.

    Class III - Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity, e.g. walking short distances (20-100 m).Comfortable only at rest.

    Class IV - Severe limitations. Experiences symptoms even while at rest. Mostly bedbound patients.

    No NYHA class listed or unable to determine.

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Valvular dysfunction

    Valvular dysfunction defined as one or more of the valves in your heart doesn't work properly, as evident by echo results

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) assessment (time frame: 9 months). 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 26 Sep 2022.
