About this study

Official title: Sex Related Differences in Systolic and Diastolic Cardiac Function in Dependence From Lifestyle Modification Factors

The aim of the study is to investigate sex-specific differences in LV and RV function (systolic and diastolic) with regarding the development and progression of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction based on a retrospective data analysis. Lifestyle modification factors will be assessed for multivariate analyses in order to detect influencing factors. Progression will be analysed in a retrospective time series analysis.

Read the detailed description

Compared to men, women show a different cardiovascular risk profile, In this context, it has already been shown that mortality in women with cardiovascular diseases is increased. Along with this, there are first indications of an echocardiographic altered cardiac function. It was shown that women are more prone to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. However, the underlying mechanisms and driving factors have not yet been fully explored. Moreover, the role of associated factors such as smoking, bodyweight or cardiovascular risk factors and menopause status remain nut fully understood.

In this project differences differences in sex-specific LV and RV function depending on defined risk factors will be investigated. For this purpose, a retrospective follow-up analysis willl be carried out. This is based on test results from patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiography in the echocardiography department of the Department of Cardiology, Pneumology and Angiology University Hospital Düsseldorf.

The aim is to evaluate possible differences in the sex-specific risk profile. This may allow us to define the cardiovascular risk profile in dependence from each sex more concretely.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Diastolic Dysfunction, run by Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf 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 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 5 Apr 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Lisa Dannenberg, MD (+49211811800, lisa.dannenberg@med.uni-duesseldorf.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurence of Heart Failure with preserved ejection fraction (time frame: 3 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 5 Apr 2023.
