About this study

Official title: Intraprocedural Determination of Myocardial Vitality Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography Compared to Two-time MRI Diagnostics

The investigators will compare myocard vitality diagnostics using 2D-Strain echography and MRI.

Read the detailed description

Each patient with typical angina pectoris symptoms will get echocardiographic examination during the inclusion phase. If motion disorder of regional left ventricular myocardial wall is detected, patient will get coronary angiography (not study related, caused of typical angina pectoris symptoms and high probability of CHD). If coronary stenosis related to motion disorder is available, patient will be randomized in two groups during coronary angiography.

  • First Group: Patient will get echocardiographic examination during coronary angiography. 2D-Strain Analysis will be performed based on data of this echocardiographic examination. Only when vitality in the contraction impaired segments will be established based on 2D-Strain Analysis, PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) will be performed.
  • Second Group: Coronary angiography by patient will be canceled. Patients will get viability assessment using MRI(Magnetic resonance imaging) within the next 7 days. When vitality will be established with MRI, patient will get PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention).

In addition, as part of a feasibility analysis, the possibility of a consolidation of data of coronary angiography with the ultrasound images will be researched by first group of patients. The aim is to simplify the visualization of the intraprocedural vitality detection. For this purpose, a position sensor based on electromagnetic fields (EMT) will be used during coronary angiography.

What is being measured

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

  1. State of health score

    State of health score will be determinated by all patients for the evaluation of clinical outcomes (using the standardized questionnaire on state of health (SF-36))6 months after clinical diagnostics.

    Measured: 6 month after diagnistics

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Left ventricular function (ejection function)

    Left ventricular function (ejection function) by all patients will be determinated 6 month after diagnostics.

    Measured: 6 month after diagnistics

  2. End-diastolic and end-systolic volume.

    End-diastolic and end-systolic volume will be determined by all patients 6 month after diagnostics

    Measured: 6 month after diagnostics

  3. Capture of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events(MACCE)

    It will be determined, whether all patients suffered any major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) inter alia stroke, myocardial infarction, death 18 month after diagnostics

    Measured: 18 month after diagnostics

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac ultrasound and MRI scanner in people with Angina Pectoris and Left Ventricular Wall Motion Abnormalities, run by RWTH Aachen University 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 23 Sep 2015. 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?

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?

State of health score (time frame: 6 month after diagnistics). 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 23 Sep 2015.
