About this study

Official title: Study on Integration of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases

To explore the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through study on cardio-cerebral integration based on multimodal imaging technology, and clinical evaluation of its secondary diseases and intervention treatment.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Atherosclerosis of the large arteries of the brain and the heart has received extensive attention and in-depth research. By contrast, the epidemiology of small-vessel disease (SVD) of the brain and heart is less well established.

The vascular anatomy of the heart and brain is similar in that conduit arteries are distributed on the surface of these organs with tissue perfusion achieved through deep penetrating arteries. In the heart, SVD involves the deep penetrating coronary arterioles and the subendocardial plexus of microvessels. The clinical sequelae of SVD in the heart include stable and acute coronary syndromes and heart failure in the longer term. SVD in the brain mainly involves small subcortical arterioles. If a vascular occlusion occurs, small lacunar lesions can occur, while long-term chronic ischemia caused by SVD may manifest as vascular cognitive impairment. There is a close relationship between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and cardiovascular risk factors are related to the etiology of cerebral SVD. However, whether this relationship has a causal remains unclear.

Thus, the study of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular integration based on multimodal imaging technology has important value for the diagnosis, efficacy evaluation, and prognosis judgment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Read the detailed description

Patients:

Patients with heart disease, such as coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation or flutter, cardiac insufficiency, etc. were included. And collect the patient's brain MRI data simultaneously. To explore the relationship between embolic properties and cerebral embolism, the relationship between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive dysfunction, and also comparison of changes in cardiocerebral structure and function before and after intervention with risk factors.

Imaging protocols:

Brain magnetic resonance acquisition: Use a 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner for imaging, and the acquisition coil uses a dedicated brain coil. The scan sequence includes routine T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR, and other sequences. If necessary, further patient functional magnetic resonance examinations such as BOLD, 3D T2FLAIR, 3D FSPGR-T1WI, 3D pCASL, DTI, and 3D SWI are performed.

Cardiac magnetic resonance acquisition: cardiac and coronary CTA, cardiac and coronary MRA; Myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance imaging, etc.

Treatment:

Intervention treatment for risk factors

Follow-up:

Baseline (MRI+clinical evaluation); 3-months, 6-months,1-year (MRI+clinical evaluation).

Being tested
Experimental: Antihypertensive therapy Hypotension and improved ventilation treatment Intervention treatment for other risk factors

What is being measured

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

  1. To Study the relationship between the nature of left atrial thrombus and cardiogenic cerebral infarction

    Measured: 5 year

  2. To evaluate changes in brain structure and function in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and analyze the relationship between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive impairment

    Measured: 5 year

  3. To evaluate the impact of risk factor intervention on the structure and function of heart and brain in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

    Myocardial MRI perfusion and 3D pCASL sequence will be used to assess the cardiac and cerebral perfusion in each treated patient before and after treatment

    Measured: 5 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital.

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 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ting Wang, MD (+86 15801023273, wangtt1127@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To Study the relationship between the nature of left atrial thrombus and cardiogenic cerebral infarction (time frame: 5 year). 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 14 Apr 2023.
