About this study

Official title: Noninvasive Assessment of Pulmonary Fluid Levels by Remote Dielectric Sensing (ReDS™) Technology to Improve Cardiac Insufficiency During Ischemia-reperfusion and Clinical Outcomes in Myocardial Infarction

To explore whether a ReDS-guided strategy for AMI patients with cardiac insufficiency following coronary flow reperfusion is superior to routine care for improving outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) system is a non-invasive medical device that emits a low-power electromagnetic signal through the chest and lungs, which can accurately measure changes in lung fluid concentration. Previous studies suggest that ReDS-guided management may have the potential role in the diagnosis and treatment of acute heart failure (AHF): (1) Assessment of real-time volume status: Patients with AHF are often accompanied by volume overload, especially pulmonary congestion, which is one of the main risk factors for readmission; (2) Establishment of treatment strategy: The ReDS-SAFE HF study showed that the AHF treatment strategy based on the ReDS measurement could significantly reduce the readmission rate and the clinical outcomes after discharge; (3) Determine time to discharge: The study ReDS-SAFE HF also suggests ReDS measurement can aid physicians to determine the appropriate time to discharge by monitoring changes in the volume of lung fluid, which can relatively avoid the risk of early or late discharge.

Acute myocardial stunning and injury combined with cardiac insufficiency is one common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the large infarcted area of the left ventricular anterior wall can lead to heart pump failure, which will cause pulmonary edema and acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in the long-term recovery. Although cardiomyocytes do not completely lose their activity following the cardiac circulatory reperfusion, it still requires a long period for the myocardium to restore normal function, which closely related to the basal myocardial status, number of coronary lesions, area of myocardial infarction, and time of reperfusion. Long-time loss of myocardial activity then results in irreversible myocardial remodeling of patients in and seriously impacts the life quality of life of AMI patients. Therefore, it is particularly important to find an effective convenient management scheme to improve cardiac insufficiency following ischemic reperfusion in AMI patients. Among these patients, acute ischemic myocardium and cardiac dysfunction could simultaneously induce rapid adaptive alterations in lung fluid, which provides an indicative parameter in the clinical and could be well-determined by the ReDS devices.

This study sought to explore whether a ReDS-guided strategy for AMI patients with cardiac insufficiency following coronary flow reperfusion is superior to routine care for improving outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major adverse cardiac event (MACE)

    The primary outcome is the MACE that is defined as a composite of all-cause death and HF readmission.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. All-cause death

    Measured: 1 year

  2. HF readmission

    HF readmission was defined as a minimum of an overnight hospitalization for a patient presenting with symptoms and signs of HF or requiring intravenous diuretics

    Measured: 1 year

  3. The length of hospital readmission stay

    The length of hospital readmission stay

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Quality of life (QOL)

    The quality of life was assessed according to Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). The 21 items of MLHFQ are rated on six-point Likert scales, representing different degrees of impact of HF on patient's QOL, from 0 (no) to 5 (very much). It provides a total score (range 0-105), from best to worst QOL.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote dielectric sensing system in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF), run by Shanghai 10th People's Hospital at 6 sites in China.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in China. 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?

Contact Yidong Wei, M.D., Ph.D. (+86-18917683409, ywei@tongji.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major adverse cardiac event (MACE) (time frame: 1 year). 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 4 Nov 2024.
