Trial summary

Impairment of relaxation, the early phase of ventricular diastole is the first stage of heart diastolic dysfunction. Left ventricular diastolic function can be determined noninvasively by Echo- Doppler - derived mitral valve flow velocities. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Chronic and Acute Effect of Smoking on the Left and Right Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Function in Young Healthy Smokers

Impairment of relaxation, the early phase of ventricular diastole is the first stage of heart diastolic dysfunction. Left ventricular diastolic function can be determined noninvasively by Echo- Doppler - derived mitral valve flow velocities. The addition of pulmonary venous flow pattern enables more accurate assessment of left ventricle diastolic function. The role of the right ventricle in haemodynamic function of the heart is now emphasized. The right ventricle diastolic function can be assess by recording the Doppler tricuspid valve flow pattern. Impaired LV diastolic function usually precedes systolic dysfunction and may cause clinical signs of congestive heart failure. Cigarette smoking is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the study was to assess left and right ventricular diastolic function in healthy, young and slim smokers before and after smoking one cigarette.

Echocardiographic examination: before and after smoking one cigarette Echocardiographic evaluation of mitral valve flow, pulmonary venous flow, tricuspid valve flow and hepatic vein flow to assess diastolic function of ventricles.

Read the detailed description

Echocardiographic examination: in left lateral position after 10 minutes rest. The first examination: after a 2-hour non-smoking period, the second: immediately after smoking one cigarette containing 0.9 mg of nicotine. The duration of the second examination: no more than 15 minutes.

Echocardiography equipment: Hewlett-Packard SONOS 2000 (Andover, Massachusetts) imaging system. The transducer's frequency: 2 MHz.

From the apical four chamber view the visualisation of transmitral flow, pulmonary venous flow and transtricuspid flow. From subcostal view the visualisation of right superior hepatic vein and the hepatic vein flow.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 6 Nov 2006. 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 Poland. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00395928, which also lists 4 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 6 Nov 2006.
