  • Patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who have an LVEF < 35% and who meet criteria for NYHA functional class II or III; OR
  • Patients with left ventricular dysfunction due to prior MI who are at least 40 days post-MI, have an left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <30% and are in NYHA functional class I-III; OR
  • Patients with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) due to prior MI, LVEF <40%, and with inducible ventricular fibrillation (VF) or sustained VT at electrophysiological study; AND
  • Self identified race as black/African American or white/Caucasian

About this study

Official title: The Use of Educational Videos to Improve Patient Decision Making and Racial Disparities in the Implantation of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)

The investigators will examine whether an educational video increases patient knowledge about heart failure and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest and leads to greater satisfaction with information provided as compared to usual care. Additionally, the investigators will look at whether racial concordance (physician and patient being of the same race) improves satisfaction with the patient's treatment decision and disease knowledge. Our hypothesis is that a video in which participants are of the same race as the patient will provide better education and more satisfaction with the treatment decision and may lead to more patients choosing ICD therapy.

White educational videoPatients will view an educational video that contains White physicians and patients.
African-American educational videoPatients will view an educational video that contains African-American physicians and patients.
Usual carePatients will receive counseling about their condition and treatment options.

What is being measured

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

  1. Decision to Receive an ICD

    At one week post-intervention, patients were asked what treatment option they preferred: ICD placement with medications; No ICD, continue with medications only; or unsure.

    Measured: 1 week post intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Decisional Conflict Scale

    At one week post-intervention, patients were asked 9 questions from a modified decisional conflict scale to assess overall decisional conflict and three subscales (decision uncertainty; factors contributing to uncertainty; and perceived effective decision making). Overall scores range from 9 (no decisional conflict) to 45 (high decisional conflict).

    Measured: one week post intervention

  2. Receipt of an ICD

    Patients were asked (or medical records reviewed) to determine if patients did receive an ICD within approximately 3 months post intervention.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, run by Duke University at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 0 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 19 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Apr 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Decision to Receive an ICD (time frame: 1 week post intervention). 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 NCT00918125, 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 19 Oct 2015.
