About this study

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was considered as a heterogeneous disease with multi-organ and multi-system design, which is related to various complications, such as hypertension, obesity and arteriosclerosis. Studies have found that hypertension and obesity are respectively associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, there is still no research investigating the the relationship between blood pressure and arterial stiffness in HFpEF patients with different levels of obesity.

Read the detailed description

Before the 21st century, Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was considered as a disease with simple diastolic dysfunction, but after the 21st century, HFpEF was considered as a heterogeneous disease with multi-organ and multi-system design, which is related to various complications, such as hypertension, obesity and arteriosclerosis. Other studies have found that hypertension and obesity are respectively associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, there is still no research investigating the the relationship between blood pressure and arterial stiffness in HFpEF patients with different levels of obesity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial stiffness

    The arterial stiffness of HFpEF patients, for example brachial ankle pulse wave velocity, ardioankle vascular index and so on.

    Measured: On admission

  2. The level of blood pressure

    The level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction.

    Measured: On admission

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The change from baseline in quality of life

    Measured by Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire. The score ranges from 0 to 105. The higher score means the worse health-related quality of life.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. The re-hospitalization rate of heart failure

    The re-hospitalization rate of heart failure

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, run by Chongqing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 23 Feb 2023. 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 China. 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?

Arterial stiffness (time frame: On admission). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04535726, 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 23 Feb 2023.
