Contrast Specific Echocardiogram Versus Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO) Imaging Settings (ELVIS)

May 19, 2025 updated by: London North West Healthcare NHS Trust

Comparison of Image Quality Generated by Contrast Specific Echocardiogram and Left Ventricular Opacification (LVO) Imaging Settings in Patients Enrolled in Luminity 422 Study

This study compares "contrast specific imaging setting" images with "left ventricular opacification (LVO)" images taken on the same group of patients at different points in time, to see if one is more effective at assessing the function of the heart.

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.

Detailed Description

Ultrasound testing of the heart using a "dye" or contrast is often used to get clear pictures of the heart in many heart conditions. When this test is done when the heart is working hard, such as when exercising, this is called contrast stress echocardiography.

Current guidelines recommend the method called "contrast specific imaging setting," as the best way of looking at the main pumping part of the heart. However, it is not known if it provides better pictures when compared to a different method called "left ventricular opacification (LVO)."

This study will compare pictures in patients who have had tests done using both ways of looking at the heart and will compare; LVO; enhanced and unenhanced LVEBD; LVO imaging with contrast specific imaging Wall Motion Classification and LVO to contrast specific imaging Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF). The comparison will be done by a group of experts in cardiac ultrasound.

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 and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

From the 120 patients enrolled in the Luminity 422 clinical trial a cohort of participants underwent independent contrast specific imaging as part of their clinical management, during the time of recruitment for the trial. The contrast specific imaging data of these patients will be used.

Sixty participants from the total of one hundred twenty patients that participated in the Luminity 422 clinical trial are planned to be enrolled in the study. They will have undergone further clinical echocardiographic assessment for other clinical reasons using the recommended contrast specific imaging setting by the same vendor.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants enrolled in the Luminity 422 study that also have complete data with contrast specific imaging obtained within a 60 day window.
  2. Participants who are able to give voluntary, written informed consent to participate in this clinical investigation and from whom consent has been obtained.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Unwilling / unable to give informed consent

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
Time Frame
To determine whether the technique left ventricular opacification (LVO) imaging provide better quality images than current best practice "contrast specific imaging setting," in patients routinely referred for a transthoracic echocardiogram.
Time Frame: 8 months
8 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
To determine whether the technique LVO imaging provide better quality images than the current best practice for comparison of segmental LVEBD between images obtained by LVO imaging (intermediate MI) and contrast specific imaging (low MI).
Time Frame: 8 months
8 months
To determine whether the technique LVO imaging provide better quality images than the current best practice for comparison of wall motion classification between images obtained by LVO imaging (intermediate MI) and contrast specific imaging (low MI).
Time Frame: 8 months
8 months
To determine whether the technique LVO imaging provide better quality images than the current best practice for comparison of LVEF assessment between images obtained by LVO imaging (intermediate MI) and contrast specific imaging (low MI).
Time Frame: 8 months

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 29, 2020

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
