Trial summary

Consecutive obstetric patients attending routine antenatal visits were enrolled in this ongoing registry. A standardized 2D transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) protocol was employed. Ejection fraction (EF) was quantified using biplane Simpson's method. Read more about this study

About this study

Consecutive obstetric patients attending routine antenatal visits were enrolled in this ongoing registry. A standardized 2D transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) protocol was employed. Ejection fraction (EF) was quantified using biplane Simpson's method.

Read the detailed description

Consecutive obstetric patients attending routine antenatal visits were enrolled in this ongoing registry. A standardized 2D transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) protocol was employed, including parasternal long and short, apical 4- and 2-chamber views. Continuous wave and pulse wave Doppler were used to assess left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradients. Left ventricular (LV) function was quantified using biplane Simpson's method and visually assessed by two independent readers. Patients with significant valve disease or congenital heart disease underwent complete TTE. Those diagnosed with LV dysfunction or other cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were referred to the Cardio-Obstetrics clinic for further management and long-term follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants found to have abnormal left ventricular function

    Prevalence of Left ventricular dysfunction (Ejection Fraction<55%)

    Measured: At the time of screening echocardiogram

  2. Number of participants found to have abnormal heart valve function

    Structural heart abnormalities (valvular heart lesions classified as mild, moderate and severe)

    Measured: At the time of screening echocardiogram

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of participants found to have adverse Maternal outcomes

    Maternal Mortality, Cardiogenic shock

    Measured: At the time of delivery

  2. Number of participants found to have adverse Fetal outcomes

    Infant Mortality, Infant birth weight (kg)

    Measured: At the time of delivery

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants found to have abnormal left ventricular function (time frame: At the time of screening echocardiogram). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06004544, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
