About this study

Official title: Early Identification of Right Ventricular Dysfunction and Failure in Cardiothoracic and Liver Surgical Patients

In association with Edwards LifeSciences, the study will aim to develop an algorithm based on right heart (right atrial, right ventricular and pulmonary artery) waveforms for the early detection of RV dysfunction in cardiothoracic and liver surgery patients at UMMC. This is a prospective, non-interventional, observational study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial waveform

    The slope of the diastolic right ventricular waveform which includes measures of RV end-diastolic pressure and RV contractility (dPdt)

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of RV Dysfunction, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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 1 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

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?

Arterial waveform (time frame: 24 hours postoperative). 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 1 Aug 2025.
