About this study

Patients with cardiac pathology and arrhythmias including those who have indications for pacemakers implantation will be included in the study. We will determine the influence of pacemaker implantation with the localization of the ventricular electrode in the top of the right ventricle or the middle third of the right ventricle according to echocardiographic and electrocardiographic parameters, congestive heart failure progression, patients' quality of life and follow-up therapy of patients with identified myocardial fibrosis with existing pacemaker.

Study of changes in echocardiography, electrocardiography, myocardial fibrosis markers, the quality of life of patients will allow to choose the most optimal localization of the ventricular electrode during implantation of the permanent pacemakers system in order to improve the quality of life of the patients.

Read the detailed description

Anticipated design of the study: an open, prospective, study, with parallel groups of patients according to ICH GCP ((International Conference on Harmonisation - Good Clinical Practice) criteria.

The study will involve 300 patients with cardiac pathology and arrhythmias including those who have indications for pacemakers implantation, who will be allocated into 2 groups: group 1 - patients who require a permanent pacemaker placement; group 2 - patients who do not require a permanent pacemaker placement.

Patients involved in the study will undergo peripheral venous blood sampling to determine the level of myocardial fibrosis markers (Halitin-3, ST2), electrocardiography (assessment of the type of bradyarrhythmia, assessment of the presence/absence and type of intraventricular conductivity disorder, estimation of the width of the QRS complex, direction of the electric axis of the heart), echocardiography (evaluation of ejection fraction, heart chamber size, mitral and tricuspidal manifestation, interventricular delay), contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), quality of life assessment using the Aquarel questionnaire. All procedures will be repeated at time points as per protocol.

Specific information for Group A patients: there will be different variants of localization of the right ventricular lead (top of the right ventricle, the upper third of the ventricular septum, the middle third of the ventricular septum, the lower third of the ventricular septum, front wall of the right ventricle, lower wall of the right ventricle, parahisial region, His bundle). The analysis of the subgroups will be carried out according to the following criteria: electrode localization, main indication for pacemakers implantation, pacemakers model, type of initial intraventricular conductivity disorder.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • pacemakers implantation and assessment of cardiac function and cardiac fibrosisDevice

    Also called Withdrawal of Peripheral venous blood samples; electrocardiography; echocardiography; contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI

    150 patients will be implanted with pacemakers. In addition to the echocardiography, contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI and peripheral venous blood sampling for myocardial fibrosis markers, the tests described above will be repeated at 1 (V1), 12 (V2), 24 (V3) months after inclusion. Echocardiography and peripheral venous blood sampling for myocardial fibrosis markers detection will be repeated to all patients before pacemakers implantation and after 6,12 and 24 months of observation period. Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be performed before pacemaker implantation and 6 months after surgery.

    In addition, pacemakers programming data will be evaluated after 1, 12, 24 months after inclusion in the study (atrioventricular delay, percentage of ventricular stimulation, episodes of high atrial frequency, fibrillation/atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia).

  • assessment of cardiac function and cardiac fibrosisDiagnostic test

    Also called Withdrawal of Peripheral venous blood samples; electrocardiography; echocardiography; contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI

    The patients who do not require a pacemaker placement will undergo diagnostic testing such as echocardiography, contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI and peripheral venous blood sampling for myocardial fibrosis markers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibrosis and Atrial Fibrillation, run by Ryazan State Medical University at 1 site in Russia.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2024. 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 Russia. 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?

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?

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?

Changes in indicators of myocardial fibrosis (time frame: June 2023 - June 2028). 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 11 Apr 2024.
