Stress Induced Right Ventricular Uptake on Lexiscan Stress MPI (RVuptakeLexi)

November 3, 2015 updated by: Aiden Abidov

Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of the Stress Induced Right Ventricular Uptake on Lexiscan Stress MPI in Patients With Known or Suspected Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

The objectives of this study are to determine the:

  1. Diagnostic value of stress induced RV changes on Lexiscan stress MPI as compared to Exercise stress MPI in predicting a significant CAD.
  2. Prognostic value of stress induced RV changes on Lexiscan stress MPI in predicting adverse short-term and long-term clinical outcomes after the index test.

Detailed Description

Phase 1: Retrospective data collection/analysis All Lexiscan and exercise MPI images on patients performed for clinical indications in calendar year 2010 who had subsequent coronary angiogram within 3 months after index MPI will be retrieved for review by two experts. We will identify different types of RV uptake and RV overload during stress as well as presence or absence of these changes on resting images. Analysis will include increased RV uptake, enlargement, hypertrophy, thinning of RV and flattening of the interventricular septum. Diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy) of the identified pathological RV phenotypes in identifying severe and extensive disease will be evaluated by comparison with contrary angiograms. Comparison of the set of parameters identifying pathological RV changes, identifying normal and abnormal values of these novel ancillary markers, as well as assessing their diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected and known CAD during vasodilator stress versus exercise stress MPI will be done.

Phase 2: Prospective data validation Patients referred for the Lexiscan stress MPI will be followed prospectively after obtaining an informed consent. All comers after June 1 2012 will be included. Prediction of coronary artery disease will be performed by applying the previously derived pathological RV criteria on the prospective stress MPIs. 2D-Echocardiogram will be performed for all the patients who do not have an Echocardiogram performed for clinical indication within 1 month of their index Lexiscan stress MPI. We will also include 100 patients referred for the exercise stress MPI who will serve as controls.

All patients will be prospectively followed up for a total of 12 months for the following prognostic end points:

  1. Hard cardiac events (cardiac death or MI);
  2. Total (all-cause) mortality;
  3. Cardiovascular hospitalization rate. Cardiac death (CD) will be defined as death attributable to any cardiac cause (eg, lethal arrhythmia, myocardial infarction [MI], or pump failure) as confirmed by review of death certificate and medical records.

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

18 years to 89 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hard cardiac events (cardiac death or MI)
Time Frame: within 1 year after the index test
Patient follow-up evaluated for hard cardiac events (cardiac death or MI)in the year post index test determined by telephone interviews or review of medical records
within 1 year after the index test

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total (all-cause) mortality
