Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Potential participants will be identified from an existing database of healthy volunteers who had previously participated in the biobank program and indicated interest in future studies. Potential patients are identified from the imaging or admissions databases. The primary physicians of these patients identified will be notified prior to recruitment and the patient will only be recruited if the primary physician is agreeable. Alternatively, other methods of participant identification include co-workers of the department who volunteer themselves and indicate on the Informed Consent Document that their participation was entirely voluntary and not under coercion. Team members of this study are not eligible for participation.

Who may be able to join

  • Has no known significant medical history
  • Is able to give informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Has contraindications to CMR implantable devices, cerebral aneutysm clips and cochlear implants
  • Has claustrophobia
  • Females who are pregnant
  • Is unable to comply with study protocols

About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop imaging protocols when using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess cardiac functions, morphology and tissue characterization. The National Heart Research Institute Singapore (NHRIS) houses two dedicated CMR scanners to support the numerous investigator initiated projects in patients with various cardiac pathologists. By optimizing novel CMR sequences used in these studies, scanning time can be shortened for patients with underlying cardiac diseases.

Read the detailed description

In medical research, there is a continuous need to develop new imaging techniques such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. This will allow us to visualize and study the function and structure of the heart in greater detail so as to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with various cardiac conditions. The aim of the study is to optimise new CMR sequences, allowing the development of imaging protocols in future research studies.

This study will hence recruit 800 subjects for each of the following sub-studies:

  1. Sub-study 1: Normal CMR protocols for assessment of cardiac function and morphology
  2. Sub-study 2: Exercise stress protocols with a CMR-compatible supine bike.

For the first sub-study, 400 healthy volunteers and patients with cardiac conditions or suspected to have cardiac conditions will be recruited. The testing and optimising of CMR sequence settings are crucial to ensure the accuracy and robustness of the scan before using the scan as a clinical diagnostic tool.

For the second sub-study, 400 healthy volunteers of different fitness levels and and patients with cardiac conditions or suspected to have cardiac conditions will be recruited. An exercise stress protocol will then be developed for future studies in patients with suspected coronary artery diseases. For this protocol, participants will be asked to cycle on a supine exercise bike to assess the effects of exercise and free breathing on the stability of the CMR imaging sequences.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic and Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, run by National Heart Centre Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2021. 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 Singapore. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

First occurrence of cardiovascular event (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT03040947, 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 3 Mar 2021.
