Better Patient Selection to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

June 27, 2023 updated by: Per Steinar Halvorsen, Oslo University Hospital
This study evaluates whether a preoperative assessment of myocardial contractile reserve by tissue Doppler Imaging and myocardial fibrosis by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can enhance the patient selection and risk stratification to transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

In this prospective observation study we will investigate whether a preoperative test of myocardial contractile reserve can predict adverse outcome after TAVI. We intend to examine preoperative myocardial contractile reserve by use a low dose dobutamine test and relate this to pre-existing myocardial focal and diffuse myocardial fibrosis detected by new cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods and new echocardiographic methods. These measures will be primarily related to long term (12 months) mortality.

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

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Preoperative myocardial reserve yes/no
Patients with extensive myocardial fibrosis typically presents with limited myocardial contractile reserve that can be assessed by a dobutamine stress test. The patients will be allocated to a responder and non-responder group according to the results from this test.
Diagnostic test: Dobutamine stress test
Test of myocardial reserve

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
MACE
Time Frame: 1 year
MACE at 12 months follow-up after TAVI, MACE definition: rehospitalization for heart failure or other valve related complications, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or (cardiovascular) death
1 year

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
NYHA functional classification of heart failure, Lack of improvement and/ or function class III or IV 12 months after the procedure defined unfavorable outcome
Time Frame: 1 year
Number of Participants hospitalizated for heart related diseases during 12 month follow-up.
1 year
6 Minute Walking Test
Time Frame: 1 year
Favorable outcome defined as improvement in walking distance of 30 meters or longer at one year follow up.
1 year
Patient quality of life (QoL)
Time Frame: 1 year
Quality of life record (SF 36), Physical function (age adjusted normal value 71.6 (SD 26.9)) and Physical role (age adjusted normal value 57.0 (SD 43.8)) , the patients were divided into groups using the predefined minimal change of 15 and 18,75 points, respectively. Changes above these tresholds at 12 month follow-up indicat better QoL outcomes.
1 year

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of life
Time Frame: 1 year
SF 36
1 year
Left ventricular function
Time Frame: 1 year
Dimensions, and systolic and diastolic function
