Trial summary

The investigators aim to explore obese cardiomyopathy by studying contractile twitch force, sarcomere sensitivity to calcium and mitochondrial function in atrial myocardial samples of patients grouped according to their body mass index, i.e. normal weight, overweight and obese.

About this study

The investigators aim to explore obese cardiomyopathy by studying contractile twitch force, sarcomere sensitivity to calcium and mitochondrial function in atrial myocardial samples of patients grouped according to their body mass index, i.e. normal weight, overweight and obese.

Read the detailed description

Obesity is associated with the development of heart failure, regardless of coronary artery disease or other comorbidities.

Right atrial samples obtained from patients undergoing cardiac surgery and presenting no sign of clinical cardiomyopathy will be grouped according to patient's body mass index. Atrial trabeculae will be explored to dissect out the respective contribution of (i) sarcoplasmic reticulum dysfunction (isometric twitch force contraction analysis), (ii) abnormal sarcomere sensitivity to calcium assessed in permeabilized fibers and (iii) mitochondrial dysfunction to intrinsec contractile dysfunction of myocardium in obese patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intrinsic myocardial contractile force

    twitch force developed by atrial trabeculae assessed in isometric conditions in atrial samples

    Measured: the day of cardiac surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. sarcomere sensitivity to calcium

    force-calcium concentration relation assessed on permeabilized atrial fibers

    Measured: the day of cardiac surgery

  2. Mitochondrial function

    assesment of mitochondrial respiration and calcium retention capacity by oxygraphic measurement in saponin-permeabilized atrial fibers

    Measured: the day of cardiac surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Heart Failure, run by University Hospital, Lille at 1 site in France.

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 10 Jul 2019. 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 France. 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?

Intrinsic myocardial contractile force (time frame: the day of cardiac surgery). 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 10 Jul 2019.
