Study Overview

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.

Detailed Description

Cardiac impedancemetry is a technique that allows an electrical representation of cardiac flows. To do this, 6 electrodes are applied to the thorax and a low intensity and high frequency electrical current is transmitted. The impedance is recorded and the variations of the impedance represent the changes in intra-thoracic volume and thus the volume of systolic ejection. This measurement can be done at rest but also during exercise during the walking test. A test of the NO / CO coupled transfer measurement is also performed.

The devices that will be used in this project are the Physio-Flow® system and Masterscreen NO / CO coupled transfer measurement device

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • HTP incident or prevalent less than 6 months
  • Patient coming for follow-up or emergency consultation or hospitalization with a clinical examination and a walking test
  • Patient affiliated to a health insurance scheme

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.
Experimental: cardiac impedancemetry

Monocentric cohort study, prospective, evaluating the variability of cardiac output measurement by resting and stress impedancemetry as a prognostic factor for PH. Patients are included via the competence center of the PHP of the Midi Pyrenees region. The cardiac output is measured by impedance measurement at rest and during the walking test. The NO / CO coupled transfer measurement is performed at rest. The physician performing the consultation will not know the results of the IPC and these results will not influence the subsequent management.

The patient will be followed for 18 months as part of the research.
Device: cardiac impedancemetry
The cardiac output is measured by impedance measurement at rest and during the walking test.

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
Measure of cardiac flow variation at 0 month by impedancemetry
Time Frame: 0 month
The variation of cardiac flow is measured by impedancemetry at rest
0 month
Measure of cardiac flow variation at 6 month by impedancemetry
Time Frame: 6 month
The variation of cardiac flow is measured by impedancemetry at rest
6 month

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.
