About this study

Official title: Exploring Clinical Characteristics and Predictors of Adverse Outcomes in Patients Diagnosed With Heart Failure With Preserve Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent form of heart failure characterized by impaired left ventricle pressures and diastolic dysfunction. Despite its increasing prevalence, effective treatment options for HFpEF remain limited, probably due to its heterogenous underlying pathological etiology involving chronic systemic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. Identifying new predictors of poor prognosis is crucial for risk stratification and tailored management.

Read the detailed description

The prognosis for HFpEF is concerning, marked by significant mortality and frequent hospital readmissions. The exact mechanisms underlying HFpEF remain unresolved. The clinical syndrome arises from intricate interactions among various risk factors, leading to organ dysfunction and clinical symptoms. Common co-morbidities, including atrial fibrillation, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and obesity, may influence HFpEF pathophysiology. Recent discussions suggest an inflammatory-metabolic phenotype in HFpEF, characterized by heightened inflammatory biomarkers, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, microvascular endothelial and vascular dysfunction, atherosclerosis, consequently leading to significant myocardial damage. However, there is still a lack of clinical risk predictors associated with metabolic phenotype within HFpEF.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of parameters reflecting the metabolic phenotype, coronary microvascular dysfunction in HFpEF and establish their correlation with clinical outcomes. The objective is to identify novel predictors for adverse prognosis in HFpEF, potentially serving as targets for drug therapy. This research aims to pave the way for targeted drug interventions in cardiometabolic diseases, offering new avenues for therapeutic approaches.

What participants receive

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

  • The study involved a comparison of clinical characteristics, medical history, laboratory biomarkers, echocardiographic measurements, angiographic findings, and clinical outcomes between two groups.Combination product

    Differences in clinical characteristics, history, laboratory biomarkers, echocardiographic measurements, angiographic findings, coronary microvascular function using caIMR and clinical outcomes were assessed between the two groups to identify potential risk factors. Subsequently, the incidence of clinical outcomes and mortality was compared. Univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses, adjusted for significant risk factors, were conducted to identify independent predictive factors. Finally, a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was generated, and the area under the curve was evaluated to assess the predictive accuracy of the regression model.

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite Events

    The composite events include a composite of all-cause mortality (death due to any cause), cardiovascular mortality (death due to cardiac cause), and heart failure rehospitalization.

    Measured: From the time of hospital discharge until the event of specific outcome, death, or loss to follow up, maximum 10 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, run by Ya-Wei Xu.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2024. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Composite Events (time frame: From the time of hospital discharge until the event of specific outcome, death, or loss to follow up, maximum 10 years.). 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 Dec 2024.
