About this study

Official title: The Role of Bioimpedance Analysis in Diagnosis and Evaluation of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure and Systolic Ventricular Dysfunction. Correlation of This Tool With Other Heart Failure Markers

Heart failure (HF) represents a major problem in today's health care landscape and is expected to grow in the next years due to an aging population and improved treatments. In many cases, the evaluation of the volemia status of patients with left ventricular dysfunction is not easy in the outpatient setting, due to limitations of physical examination in stable patients, as well as the tolerance to chronic HF they have. The aim of this study is to determine whether the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is useful in determining the real clinical stability of chronic HF, its potential implications for clinical management and patient follow-up, as well as for the adjustment of pharmacological treatment. This study is observational, single-center, single-blind and outpatient. It includes patients with a previous diagnosis of HF and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40%, who are stable at the time of inclusion. Follow-up is estimated to be 12 months.

Read the detailed description

Endpoints:

The primary end-point is to determine the volemia status of the patients and whether there is a correlation between clinical and analytical parameters and those determined with the BIA. It will also be correlated with the clinical questionnaire (ICEBERG). Secondary objectives: to analyze whether the data obtained with BIA correlate with heart failure events such as hospitalization, change in the functional class of patients, worsening renal function, need for changes in medical treatment or implantation of intracardiac devices. In addition, if data allows it, we will evaluate the relationship with quality of life, cardiovascular mortality, changes in biomarkers (NT-ProBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), Troponin I...), and cost-effectiveness.

Design:

This study was design as a single-center observational study in which patients undergoing to a cardiology consultation were selected and underwent bioimpedance measurement as well as a clinical questionnaire. The aim is to obtain data that will help the execution of a larger study about a broadly use of BIA in the management of HF in the future. This study was approved by an institutional review committee and performed under Helsinki Declaration Guidelines. All patients signed the informed consent before entering the study.

The study population is outpatients attended at cardiology consultations of the Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz, with a diagnosis of stable HF (without admission due to decompensation or first episode of HF in the previous year) and with a LVEF ≤ 40% will be included. We estimate that approximately 100 patients can be included in a 3-month inclusion period.

Study procedures: The variables collected are general medical data, analytical data, including the cardiac biomarker NT-proBNP and answers to the ICEBERG questionnaire. BIA is performed when the patient is included in the study.

For follow-up, a review of the clinical history will be carried out in the next months, including a phone contact with the patient if necessary, to obtain information related to mortality or hospital care due to chronic HF.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria de la Fundación Jiménez Díaz at 1 site in Spain.

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 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 2 Mar 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 Spain. 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 Rocío Carda, MD, PhD (+34915504800, rcarda@fjd.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patients Volemia status (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 2 Mar 2023.
