Impact of Pacing Mode and Diastolic Function on Cardiac Output (PADIAC)

February 20, 2020 updated by: Clemens Steinwender, Kepler University Hospital

Background It is known from previous research that in patients with complete AV (atrioventricular) block and pacemaker stimulation stroke volume and cardiac output are higher with AV-synchronous than with AV-dyssynchronous pacing. However, the extent to which patients profited from AV-synchronous stimulation varied substantially.

Aim of the study Aim of this study is to systematically analyze the impact of diastolic function and other echo parameters on the difference of stroke volumes/cardiac output between AV-synchronous and AV-dyssynchronous pacing modes.

Methods Patients fulfilling the entry criteria will be enrolled (two-chamber pacemaker of any vendor eligible) in this monocentric, prospective, interventional study. Baseline data will be collected with a standardized questionnaire. During an echo examination, parameters of diastolic, systolic and atrial function will be assessed. Then, the stroke volume/cardiac output will be measured twice in each patient, once with AV-synchronous and once with AV-dyssynchronous pacing. Therefore, each patient will represent their own control. It will be randomized (coin tossing) which stimulation mode is first and which is second (sonographer and patient will be blinded). Descriptive statistics will be applied and regression models will be fitted to explore the data.

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.

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 99 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

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

Experimental: Eligible patients - pacing mode sequence 1
Echo assessment of parameters of diastolic function, systolic function, and atrial function. Then, the stroke volume and cardiac output are measured during AV-asynchronous and AV-synchronous pacemaker stimulation: AV-synchronous pacing mode first, then AV-dyssynchronous pacing mode.
Other: Pacemaker stimulation mode
Echocardiographic indices are measured during AV asynchronous and AV synchronous pacemaker stimulation.
Experimental: Eligible patients - pacing mode sequence 2
Echo assessment of parameters of diastolic function, systolic function, and atrial function. Then, the stroke volume and cardiac output are measured during AV-asynchronous and AV-synchronous pacemaker stimulation: AV-dyssynchronous pacing mode first, then AV-synchronous pacing mode.
Other: Pacemaker stimulation mode
Echocardiographic indices are measured during AV asynchronous and AV synchronous pacemaker stimulation.

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.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Effect of left ventricular diastolic function on the change of cardiac output between AV-synchronous and AV-asynchronous pacing modes.
Time Frame: During echo examination.
Echo parameters of diastolic function.

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.
