About this study

Cardiogoniometry is a technique to process and evaluate vectorcardiography from regular ECG acquisitions. Vectorcardiography has a long tradition in cardiology for providing comprehensive information on myocardial function and integrity. In recent years, computer assisted analysis has allowed automated interpretation of vectorcardiography with promising results in comparison to standard ECG for identifying patients with coronary heart disease. This study aims to investigate the utility of cardiogoniometry for noninvasively identifying patients who are at risk from coronary heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Cardiogoniometry is a technique to process and evaluate vectorcardiography from regular ECG acquisitions. Vectorcardiography has a long tradition in cardiology for providing comprehensive information on myocardial function and integrity. Compared to standard electrocardiography, vectorcardiography has shown to be more sensitive to detect structural and ischemic heart disease. Unfortunately, the interpretation of vectorcardiography is complex which has hindered its widespread application. In recent years, computer assisted analysis has allowed automated interpretation of vectorcardiography with promising results in comparison to standard ECG for identifying patients with ischemic heart disease. However, the underlying mechanisms and threshold of altered cardiac vectors in the presence of coronary artery disease are not well understood. This research aims at exploring the relationship of computer assisted analysis of vectorcardiography with the presence, extent, severity, and location of coronary artery disease in comparison to standard ECG evaluation. Furthermore, the investigators intent to follow up enrolled patients for the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events for correlation with test findings. These data will provide comprehensive information on the diagnostic performance of noninvasive, inexpensive evaluation of cardiac vector loops for identifying patients at risk from coronary artery disease. Specifically, the study aims to:

  1. Compare the diagnostic accuracy of cardiogoniometry with standard ECG for detecting coronary artery disease as assessed by CT angiography
  2. Investigate the relationship between abnormal cardiogoniometry findings and the extent/severity/location of coronary artery disease by CT angiography
  3. Compare the intermediate term prognosis of patients according to cardiogoniometry, standard ECG, and CT findings

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of Identifying Patients With at Least One 50 Percent or Greater Coronary Artery Stenosis by CT Angiography

    Area under curve (AUC) analysis is proposed to be used to determine the diagnostic accuracy of cardiogoniometry for detecting patients with coronary heart disease as defined by at least one 50% or greater stenosis on CT coronary angiography.

    Measured: 30 days from CGM analysis

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Accuracy of Identifying Patients With Any Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease by CT Angiography

    Area under the curve (AUC) analysis is proposed to be used to asses the diagnostic accuracy of CGM for identifying patients with any coronary atherosclerotic disease

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Incidence of Death at Follow up

    Patient follow up data will be used to performance of CGM to identify patients who are at risk of suffering adverse cardiac events at follow up compared to coronary CT angiography using AUC analysis.

    Measured: 5 years after enrollment

  3. Risk of Myocardial Infarction

    Incidence of myocardial infarction at follow up

    Measured: 5 years after enrollment

  4. Risk of Revascularization at Follow up

    Incidence of revascularization at follow up

    Measured: 5 year after enrollment

  5. Risk of Hospitalization

    Incidence of hospitalization at follow up

    Measured: 5 years after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Explorer in people with Coronary Heart Disease and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Johns Hopkins University at 1 site 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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2020. 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 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 25 Feb 2020). 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?

Accuracy of Identifying Patients With at Least One 50 Percent or Greater Coronary Artery Stenosis by CT Angiography (time frame: 30 days from CGM analysis). 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 9 Jul 2020.
