About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Accuracy of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Tomography (CMR) for Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)

The diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has so far been made primarily according to criteria determined by echocardiography, or invasively by measuring the left ventricular filling pressures. Increasingly, CMR is also evaluated with regard to the diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency with preserved pump function.However, it is still unclear which parameters can be used meaningfully for diagnostics.To answer this question, the investigators want to retrospectively evaluate data collected from patients with a clinical indication for CMR and coronary angiography.

Read the detailed description

Heart failure with preserved pump function is a common disease that is associated with a high level of suffering for the patient. The diagnosis has so far been made primarily according to criteria determined by echocardiography, or invasively by measuring the left ventricular filling pressures.

With its high spatial resolution and the possibility of tissue-specific diagnostics, cardiac MRI (CMR) offers outstanding possibilities in cardiac imaging without exposing the patient to ionizing radiation. Increasingly, CMR is also evaluated with regard to the diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency with preserved pump function. However, it is still unclear which parameters can be used meaningfully for diagnostics. There is evidence for a correlation with invasively increased LVEDP, although the number of patients examined in the previous studies was still small. In addition, possible influences from medication and clinical parameters were not examined.

To answer this question, the investigators want to retrospectively evaluate data collected from patients with a clinical indication. The significance of the study is that in the future CMR could supplement echocardiography in the diagnosis of HFpEF and further reduce the need for invasive diagnostics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, Diastolic, run by German Heart Institute at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 11 Apr 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 Germany. 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?

Extracellular myocardial volume (%) (time frame: One montth). 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?
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 11 Apr 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
