Myocardial Deformation Imaging After Acute Alcohol Excess (C2)

April 29, 2016 updated by: RWTH Aachen University

Detection of Early Changes in Left Ventricular Function by Myocardial Deformation Imaging After Acute Excessive Alcohol Ingestion

Background: Chronic excessive alcohol consumption leads to progressive and chronic cardiac dysfunction. In general, patients consuming alcohol more than five years are at risk for the development of dilated cardiomyopathy. As only few data about immediate changes in left ventricular function after acute excessive alcohol ingestion are available, this study sought to close this gap.

Methods: 200 subjects (not used to alcohol, no cardiac disease) will be examined up to 12 hours after alcohol excess and after 4 weeks of complete alcohol abstinence. Echocardiography will performed at baseline and at follow-up regarding conventional parameter [as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), transmitral early (E) and late (A) Doppler flow velocities, E/A ratio, deceleration time of E (DT) and isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT)] and myocardial deformation data [as layer specific global circumferential (endo GCS, mid GCS, epi GCS) and longitudinal (endo GLS, mid GLS, epi GLS) strain].

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Myocardial Dysfunction by echocardiographic parameters
Time Frame: At 4 weeks follow-up
Conventional echocardiographic parameters as left ventricular ejection fraction (measured in %) and volumes (measured in ml) and myocardial Deformation parameters as global and layer specific radial, longitudinal and circumferential strain (all measured in %) will be determined
At 4 weeks follow-up

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline in echocardiographic parameters
Time Frame: from baseline to follow up at 4 weeks
These echocardiographic parameters will be determined at baseline and at 4 weeks follow up and the changes (assessed by percentage differences) will be given
from baseline to follow up at 4 weeks
