About this study

Official title: Incidence of Significant Mitral Regurgitation in Patients Presenting With Acute Heart Failure: Journey to Tertiary Centre

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of moderate-to-severe Mitral Regurgitation (MR) in acute Heart Failure (HF) patients requiring hospital admission.

Read the detailed description

All patients admitted with symptoms of HF- (shortness of breath (SOB), peripheral oedema, palpitations and irregular heart beats) will be assessed by the Research Team. The level of BNP will be checked using a small device (i-STAT BNP) at the bedside. If results of the test suggest HF they will undergo special procedure called transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). TTE is an ultrasound scan of the heart which will enable the investigators' to grade severity of Mitral Regurgitation (MR) as well as strength of the heart muscle. The investigators will use bi-plane Simpton's method to calculate left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). Colour Doppler and PISA method will be used to quantify severity of MR or valve leak. Simultaneously there will be recording of heart sounds to find out if auscultation is reliable in identifying leaky valves.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) AssesmentProcedure or surgery

    Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) will be carried out on all heart failure patients with elevated BNP level (>30 pg/ ml) for grading of MR severity within 7 days.

Receives: Procedure: Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) Assesment

What is being measured

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

  1. Grade 3 and above mitral regurgitation in acute heart failure.

    TTE Grading is done on colour Doppler and proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Establish correlation between BNP level and severity of MR in acute HF

    Standard statistical analysis of BNP level and grade of MR severity

    Measured: 12 months

  2. The validity of Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data against prevalence of grade 3-4 MR in the study.

    Standard statistical analysis of 2 sets of data

    Measured: 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) Assesment in people with Acute Heart Failure and Mitral Regurgitation, run by Metanoic Health Ltd. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 Feb 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Grade 3 and above mitral regurgitation in acute heart failure. (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02728739, which also lists 5 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 Feb 2018.
