About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Safety and Feasibility Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Heart at 1.5 Tesla In Patients With Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

To evaluate short-term and long-term effects by MR imaging on the technical and functional status of implantable cardioverter defibrillators.

Read the detailed description

The presence of an implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) is currently considered an absolute contraindication to MR imaging, and most patients with PM are excluded from having MRI. As a result from studies such as MADIT I, MADIT II, SCDHeft etc. the number of patients with ICDs has been continuously growing over the past years, ans this development will continue.

The aim of this study is to develop a strategy for safe performance of MR imaging at 1.5T, which included restriction of specific absorption rate (SAR) values to minimize the risk of lead heating, and ICD reprogramming to avoid interference from time varying gradient fields. The safety of this approach is then evaluated in a large group of ICD patients including assessment of potential myocardial thermal injury by measuring serum troponin I and pacing capture thresholds, and performing a follow-up 6 weeks after MR imaging to evaluate long-term effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Defibrillators, Implantable and Heart Failure, Congestive, run by University Hospital, Bonn at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 11 Apr 2007. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Torsten Sommer, MD (+49-163-6113875, t.sommer@uni-bonn.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00356239, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Apr 2007.
