Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) are currently recommended (ESC guidelines 2015) for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with a remote myocardial infarction (MI) and a low (≤35%) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Read more about this study

About this study

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) are currently recommended (ESC guidelines 2015) for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with a remote myocardial infarction (MI) and a low (≤35%) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and/or ventricular fibrillation (VF), which are responsible for most SCDs, result from the presence of surviving myocytes embedded within fibrotic MI-scar. The presence of these surviving myocytes, as well as their specific arrhythmic characteristics, is not captured by LVEF. Consequently, most patients with a prophylactic ICD do not present VT/VF requiring ICD therapy prior to their first-ICD battery depletion. Thus, many patients are exposed to ICD complications, such as inappropriate shocks, without deriving any health benefit. As a consequence, the current implantation strategy of prophylactic ICDs, based on LVEF, needs to be improved in post-MI patients. Stratification of the rhythmic risk after IDM is therefore still a major public health issue.

Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-MRI) is a strong risk-stratifier of VT/VF risk in post- MI patients. In a recent multicenter retrospective study, the investigators showed that the presence of a critical surface of intramural scar (which is consequently neither epicardial nor endocardial) at the infarct border (measured by LGE-MRI) has a major association with the occurrence of VT/VF in post-MI patients with a LVEF≤35%.

The aim of the TVScreen 2 study is therefore to validate the relevance of the MRI criterion in a new independent cohort of patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Association between the presence of the MRI criterion "intramural scar ≥ 1.47cm²" measured by MRI and the occurrence of VT / VF after implantation of the ICD from the patient's medical record.

    The area of the intramural scar will be determined from the MRI images. VT / VF events during the follow-up period will be reported from cardiac events recorded by the ICD and present in the patient's medical record.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Association between the MRI criterion "intramural scar ≥ 1.47cm²" measured by MRI and all-cause mortality from the patient's medical record.

    The area of the intramural scar will be determined from the MRI images. All-cause mortality during the follow-up period will be collected from the patient's medical record.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Association between the MRI criterion "intramural scar ≥ 1.47cm²" measured by MRI and the combined criterion of all-cause mortality or occurrence of VT / VF from the patient's medical record.

    The area of the intramural scar will be determined from the MRI images. VT / VF events and all-cause mortality during the follow-up period will be collected as described previously.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction and Ventricular Tachycardia, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Christian de CHILLOU, MD, PhD (+33383153126 ext. +33, c.dechillou@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Association between the presence of the MRI criterion "intramural scar ≥ 1.47cm²" measured by MRI and the occurrence of VT / VF after implantation of the ICD from the patient's medical record. (time frame: 5 years). 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 8 Feb 2023.
