Hormone KLOTHO Level in Heart Failure Patients That Participate in Rehabilitation Programme

February 25, 2016 updated by: Bnai Zion Medical Center

30 patients suffering from Heart Failure with Ejection Fraction less than 40% start Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme, serum KLOTHO Hormone level and other labs and Echo measurements will be taken on the first visit.

After completion of 3-month Rehabilitation Programme the second set of labs and Echo measurements will be taken.

Than participants will be divided for 2 groups: the patients who wish to continue Rehabilitation programme for additional 3-month period and the second group that prefer to stop Rehabilitation programme after completion of the first 3 month period.

For both groups additional set of labs will be taken this time and at the end of the study.

The Aim of the study: to investigate association between serum KLOTHO level, physical activity and possible correlation with laboratory and echocardiographic parameters in cohort of Heart Failure patients.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

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.

Detailed Description

30 patients, age range older than 18 years old suffering from Heart Failure, Functional capacity II-III and echocardiographic evidence of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction less than 40% beginning Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme. Following recruitment of patients to the study each one will undergo serum KLOTHO Hormone level assessment along with kidney functions, N terminal -Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide hormone activity and Echo measurements .

After completion of 3-months Exercise based Rehabilitation Programme set at 70-80% of maximal individual exercise capacity,a second identical set of lab tests and Echo measurements will be performed.

After than participants will be divided into 2 groups: Group I will comprise patients who wish to continue Rehabilitation programme for additional 3-months period and the Group II those who will stop Exercise Rehabilitation programme following completion of the first 3 months.

Both groups will undergo additional set of lab tests at this six-months-point. Except for the primary and secondary end-points all possible correlations between serum KLOTHO level and age, sex, Ejection Fraction, functional capacity, N terminal -Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide hormone activity hormone level and kidney function indices will be evaluated.

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.

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
Serum Klotho hormone level
Time Frame: "Baseline", "3 months" and "6 months"
Change in serum Klotho level between "Baseline", "3 months" and "6 months" visits
"Baseline", "3 months" and "6 months"

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
Incidence of Hospital Readmissions in patients with different serum level of KLOTHO
Time Frame: "3 months" and "6 months" and "1 Year"
"3 months" and "6 months" and "1 Year"
