  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Acute heart failure

Who may be able to join

  • patients who have appropriate symptoms (short-ness of breath or fatigue)(<7 days duration); with clinical signs of fluid retention (pulmonary or peripheral) in the presence of an underlying abnormality of cardiac structure or function.
  • If in doubt, a beneficial response to treatment (eg, a brisk diuresis accompanied by improvement in breathlessness) will be considered.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who did not fit the definition of AHF or who were clearly too ill to be considered for discharge after 24 hours from ED:
  • 1) resting oxygen saturation <85% on room air
  • 2) heart rate >120 beats/min;
  • 3) systolic blood pressure <85 mm Hg;
  • 4) confusion, disorientation, dementia;
  • 5) primary presentation for ischemic chest pain requiring treatment or with acute ischemic ST-Tchanges on initial electrocardiogram (ECG);

About this study

Official title: The Predictive Value of the HEARTRISK6 Scale in Predicting Short-Term Serious Outcomes in Emergency Department Acute Heart Failure Patients

Detect the predictive value of the HEARTRISK6 Scale in Predicting Short-Term Serious Outcomes in emergency department acute heart failure patients in Egyptian population

Read the detailed description

Recently, the heartrisk6 scale was introduced to predict the short-term serious outcomes in emergency department acute heart failure patients. It was created from 3 cohorts from American and Canadian population. Since the Egyptian population differ from the American and Canadian population regarding the age at presentation with cardiovascular disease, risk factors and etiology of the acute heart failure, we sought to detect the applicability of this score on our population.

What participants receive

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

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients will be assessed by supervised cardiology residents in emergency department, within 24 houPatients will be assessed for standardized clinical variables by supervised cardiology residents in emergency department, within 24 hours from ED treatment. •Routine laboratory values will be collected, cardiac troponins and ECG.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detect the predictive value of the heart risk 6 scale

    -Detect the predictive value of the HEARTRISK6 Scale in Predicting Short-Term Serious Outcomes in the emergency department acute heart failure patients.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Describe the management and outcomes of ED patients with acute heart failure

    -Describe the management and outcomes of ED patients with acute heart failure, identify the various etiologies of this presentation, and characteristics and risk factors of this population.

    Measured: 1

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 Basma Mahrous Mohamed, Master student (01019534749 ext. 01019534749, mahrousbasma@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detect the predictive value of the heart risk 6 scale (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT06664073, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 29 Oct 2024.
