About this study

Official title: Study of Myocardial Interstitial Fibrosis in Hyperaldosteronism Noninvasive Comparative Study in Humans of the Respective Cardiovascular Effects of Hyperaldosteronism and Hypertension by Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Animal models have demonstrated the role of aldosterone in left ventricular remodeling involving fibrosis, apoptosis and hypertrophy. Myocardial fibrosis is a risk factor for serious arrhythmia and sudden death in ischemic and idiopathic hypertrophic heart disease. It is accepted that patients with primary aldosteronism have a higher prevalence of LV hypertrophy , arterial involvement and increased cardiovascular risk. In humans, a link has been demonstrated between aldosterone and heart failure as well as the benefit of the administration of an anti -aldosterone drug to lower mortality in this population , regardless of blood pressure level . The administration of spironolactone ( aldosterone ) in hypertensive rats has prevented the occurrence of aortic fibrosis . Plasma aldosteronism in humans has been associated with inflammation, fibrosis and aortic stiffness . However, primary aldosteronism is generally associated with so-called secondary hypertension . Chronic hypertension alone is a recognized etiological factor of myocardial hypertrophy ( myocardial fibrosis very advanced ) . The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of MRI hyperaldosteronism on the heart.

Read the detailed description

Cross-sectional study with double analysis (A and B) with 2 x 2 sub-groups (ratio control/case 1/1)

  • clinical situation: subjects are hypertensive. 20 subjects with primary aldosteronism will be compared to 20 patients with essential arterial hypertension
  • clinical situation are normotensive subjects, 20 subjects with secondary aldosteronism loss in congenital salt (Bartter's syndrome / Gitelman) will be compared to 20 healthy volunteers. Controls (essential hypertension and healthy volunteers) are matched for age, sex and body size in two experimental groups (HAP and Gitelman). All subjects were recruited by the CIC of the European Georges Pompidou Hospital (Paris).

What is being measured

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

  1. Interstitial fibrosis assessed by MRI

    Quantitative interstitial fibrosis indices (intra- and extra-cellular LV mass) derived from myocardial relaxation time T1 MRI will be estimated in 4 populations with and without hypertension (patients with essential hypertension or with primary hyperaldosteronism versus healthy volunteers or patients with Gitelman syndrome), and with and without high level of aldosterone (patients with primary hyperaldosteronism or Gitelman syndrome versus patients with essential hypertension or healthy volunteers)

    Measured: One visit

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Evaluation of myocardial remodeling by MRI

    Quantitative left ventricular remodeling (LV Mass and LV mass/end diastolic volume) will be estimated in 4 populations with and without hypertension (patients with essential hypertension or with primary hyperaldosteronism versus healthy volunteers or patients with Gitelman syndrome), and with and without high level of aldosterone (patients with primary hyperaldosteronism or Gitelman syndrome versus patients with essential hypertension or healthy volunteers)

    Measured: One visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Hyperaldosteronism and Secondary Hyperaldosteronism, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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?

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 2016. 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?

Interstitial fibrosis assessed by MRI (time frame: One visit). 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 NCT02938910, 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 2016.
