Validation/Evaluation of Multimodal Imaging Combining 3D Ultrasound and Stress Myocardial Scintigraphy in the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease

June 16, 2017 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes

Validation and Evaluation of Multimodal Imaging Combining Three-dimensional Ultrasound and Stress Myocardial Scintigraphy in the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease

Our primary goal is to validate a new diagnostic tool for functional coronary artery stenosis that uses multimodal imaging (combining stress echocardiography and stress scintigraphy) in patients with known coronary chest pain.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: Severe coronary artery disease
Patients in this group have coronary artery disease with a stenosis of >70%.
Procedure: Stress ultrasound
Qualitative interpretation of the left ventricular wall motion abnormalities is performed in real time in the resting phase and during pharmacological stress. The translation of quantitative data is then performed for each of the 17 segments on a bulls-eye pattern identical to that of scintigraphy.
Procedure: Scintigraphy
Image acquisition is synchronized to the electrocardiogram. The tomographic sections are represented in the 3 directions of space, the analysis is also done on the classical representation in 17 segments. (Typically used in ultrasound perfusion scintigraphy or PET).
Procedure: Coronary angiography

Performed in interventional cardiology setting using a guide introduced through the radial or femoral artery. The injection of iodine allows opacification of coronary arteries and their visualization by fluoroscopy. The qualitative interpretation of the data is translated in terms of percentage of stenosis of the coronary artery. It is thus considered that the stenosis is significant at over 70% obstruction of the lumenal diameter. This interpretation is made for each of the three main coronary arteries and their tributaries:

  • Right coronary (proximal, middle and distal) and collateral (inter ventricular posterior ventricular posterior retro)
  • Inter ventricular anterior (proximal, middle and distal) and its tributaries (diagonal and septal)
  • Circumflex (proximal, middle and distal) and collateral (first and second marginal)
Other: Coronary artery disease
Patients in this group have coronary artery disease with stenosis < 70%.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The difference between AUCs for multimodal imaging and scintigraphy
Time Frame: 4 days
4 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The difference between AUCs for multimodal imaging and stress ultrasound
Time Frame: 4 days
