Trial summary

Occurrence of acute right heart failure (ARHF) remains common during pulmonary hypertension (PH). Right atrial pressure (RAP) invasive measurement is the gold standard to diagnose ARHF in order to improve diuretic treatment management. Read more about this study

About this study

Occurrence of acute right heart failure (ARHF) remains common during pulmonary hypertension (PH). Right atrial pressure (RAP) invasive measurement is the gold standard to diagnose ARHF in order to improve diuretic treatment management. Existence of indirect signs of ARHF on venous Doppler ultrasound waveform has long been described, but correlation with RAP has not been properly established yet. It is the aim of our study in order to obtain an additional tool to manage ARHF.

What participants receive

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

  • Peripheral veins Doppler ultrasoundDiagnostic test

    Patients undergoing a right heart catheterization for PH diagnosis or annual follow-up in the cardiological unit of the university hospital of Poitiers will be included. A venous Doppler ultrasound will be performed by a vascular physician, with experience in vascular ultrasound imaging, within 4 hours before the right heart catheterization. Morphological parameters of vena cava, and velocimetric parameters of femoral, jugular and supra-hepatic veins will be assessed in order to study their correlation with right auricular pressure value.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios of venous stasis index

    Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios of venous stasis index*, measured by Pulsed Doppler on common femoral veins, as a diagnostic criterion for ARHF (defined by RAP ≥10 mm Hg).

    • Defined as duration of non-anterograde venous flow during 3 seconds/ 3 seconds

    Measured: Inclusion day within 4 hours before the right heart catheterization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Peripheral veins Doppler ultrasound in people with Acute Right Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Poitiers University Hospital 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 9 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 1 Dec 2022. 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?

Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios of venous stasis index (time frame: Inclusion day within 4 hours before the right heart catheterization). 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 1 Dec 2022.
