Trial summary

The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is often complex. Echocardiography has the advantages of being a non-invasive, simple operation, low price, and high repeatability, and is of great value in the diagnosis of HFpEF. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multimodal Ultrasound Radiomics Based on Shear Wave Elastography for Accurate Diagnosis of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Prospective Multicenter Study

The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is often complex. Echocardiography has the advantages of being a non-invasive, simple operation, low price, and high repeatability, and is of great value in the diagnosis of HFpEF. However, the current echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and elevated filling pressure is based on multi-parameter indirect judgment, and new parameters are urgently needed to achieve accurate judgment of left ventricular diastolic function and an accurate diagnosis of HFpEF. Myocardial stiffness refers to the ability of the myocardium to undergo stress and strain. It is an important part of the pathophysiology of cardiac diastolic dysfunction and an important parameter for clinical evaluation of the diastolic function of HFpEF. Shear-wave elastography is a novel ultrasound-based elastography technology. Based on the shear wave generated by the remote induction of the radiation force of the focused ultrasound beam, the hardness of myocardial tissue can be measured quantitatively, locally, and noninvasively, and the change in myocardial stiffness in patients with HFpEF can be directly reflected. Currently, no relevant studies have applied shear-wave elastography to the diagnosis of HFpEF. This study aims to identify changes in myocardial stiffness measured by shear-wave elastography in patients with HFpEF based on a multicenter study and apply myocardial stiffness parameters to the diagnosis of HFpEF.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shear Wave Elastography and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, run by First Hospital of China Medical University.

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 6 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 28 Feb 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Shear wave velocity (time frame: Completed within 2 weeks of enrollment). 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 28 Feb 2024.
