Risk Stratification, Early Prevention and Treatment Strategies for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (STARTER): a Multicenter Retro-prospective Cohort Study

This study will include patients diagnosed with Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University and other centers, and collect clinical data and biological samples of patients with different ACM phenotypes. Through the establishment of disease cohort and long-term follow-up, to explore the disease characteristics, development law, clinical characteristics, natural course of disease and long-term prognosis of ACM.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients diagnosed with ACM at all centers including The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age >18 years old.
  • The diagnosis of ACM was confirmed by cardiac ultrasound, electrocardiogram, magnetic resonance angiography, pathological examination and gene sequencing.
  • Patients or their families agreed to participate in the study and authorized informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Incomplete clinical data.
  • Do not agree to the inclusion or refuse to authorize the informed consent.

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.
Right ventricular ACM group
The patients mainly had right ventricular enlargement and right ventricular fibrous adipose tissue replacement, and were diagnosed with right ventricular ACM.
Other: Diagnosis of ACM
Definite ACM diagnosis is based on the consensus-based 2010 Task Force Criteria, which include major and minor criteria in six categories (depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmia, imaging, histology, and family history/genetics). Among these, repolarization abnormalities (T-wave inversion in the precordial leads) constitute the most commonly observed, followed by frequent premature ventricular complex. With regards to imaging techniques, both the presence of wall motion abnormalities and an abnormal ventricular volume or function are required for fulfilment. Definite ACM consists of two major criteria or one major and two minor criteria or four minor criteria from different categories. Borderline ACM consists of one major and one minor criterion or three minor criteria from different categories.
Left ventricular ACM group
The patients mainly had left ventricular enlargement and left ventricular fibroadipose tissue replacement, and were diagnosed with left ventricular ACM.
Other: Diagnosis of ACM
Definite ACM diagnosis is based on the consensus-based 2010 Task Force Criteria, which include major and minor criteria in six categories (depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmia, imaging, histology, and family history/genetics). Among these, repolarization abnormalities (T-wave inversion in the precordial leads) constitute the most commonly observed, followed by frequent premature ventricular complex. With regards to imaging techniques, both the presence of wall motion abnormalities and an abnormal ventricular volume or function are required for fulfilment. Definite ACM consists of two major criteria or one major and two minor criteria or four minor criteria from different categories. Borderline ACM consists of one major and one minor criterion or three minor criteria from different categories.
Biventricular ACM group
The patients mainly had biventricular enlargement and fibroadipose tissue replacement, and were diagnosed with biventricular ventricular ACM.
Other: Diagnosis of ACM
Definite ACM diagnosis is based on the consensus-based 2010 Task Force Criteria, which include major and minor criteria in six categories (depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, arrhythmia, imaging, histology, and family history/genetics).

Borderline ACM consists of one major and one minor criterion or three minor criteria from different categories.

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
Change in the incidence of mortality rate
Time Frame: At diagnosis, before discharge (about 7 days), 1, 3, 6, 9 month, 1, 2, 3 year.
The survival status will be obtained from the medical records and phone calls to patients or their family members.
At diagnosis, before discharge (about 7 days), 1, 3, 6, 9 month, 1, 2, 3 year.

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.
