Trial summary

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death. A proper electrophysiological and echocardiographic characterization of this population is missing. Moreover, the effects of mitral valve repair on the arrhythmic burden are still matter of debate.

About this study

Official title: Electrophysiological Substrate in Patients With Barlow's Disease: Clinical Predictors of Arrhythmic Events and Impact of Mitral Surgery

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death. A proper electrophysiological and echocardiographic characterization of this population is missing. Moreover, the effects of mitral valve repair on the arrhythmic burden are still matter of debate.

The investigators sought to explore the role of the arrhythmic substrate in the risk stratification of patients with MVP and to assess whether mitral surgery is followed by a significant modification of the baseline arrhythmic pattern.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study, enrolling 200 patients with MVP and any documented VA.

Diagnosis of VA obtained by 12 leads ECG and Holter recordings will be reported, as well as preprocedural premature ventricular contractions (PVC) burden assessed by 24-hour Holter monitoring; demographic and clinical data will be collected, including symptoms, documentation of VA and atrial fibrillation (AF). Echocardiography data will be analyzed, focusing on mitral regurgitation grading and mitral valve morphology analysis, assessment of leaflet redundancy and prolapse, chordal elongation, annular dilatation, presence of calcifications and mitral annular disjunction characterization.

Patients will undergo ECG Holter monitoring before Cardiac Surgery with the aim to identify any VA and estimate PVC burden. ECG Holter monitoring will be repeated at 3, 9, and 12 months after cardiac surgery. In case of intraoperative biopsy, the result of histopathological examination will be collected. For patients undergoing cardiac imaging, including Cardiac Magnetic Resonance or Computer Tomography, data regarding cardiac volumes, function, markers of fibrosis will be collected. In patients undergoing Programmed electrical stimulation (PES) and Electroanatomical Mapping (EAM), size of bipolar and unipolar endocardial abnormal voltage areas, Late Potentials (LP) area, results of programmed electrical stimulation, will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mitral Valve Prolapse and Cardiac Arrhythmia, run by Ospedale San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 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 4 Oct 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 Italy. 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 Guido Ascione, MD (0226437102, ascione.guido@hsr.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence of significant arrhythmic burden in MVP patients (time frame: At enrollment). 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 NCT05562804, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 4 Oct 2022.
