Left Ventricular Torsional Hysteresis: A Global Parameter for Diastolic

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Diastolic dysfunction refers to abnormal mechanical properties of the myocardium and includes abnormal LV diastolic distensibility, impaired filling and slow or delayed relaxation- regardless of whether the ejection fraction is normal or depressed and whether the patient is asymptomatic or symptomatic. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated high prevalence of diastolic heart failure (DHF). The quality of life of these patients is impaired and the clinical outcomes are similar to those with heart failure with systolic dysfunction. Therefore diastolic dysfunction has significant adverse economic impact that is expected to grow further with time. Clinical characteristics alone may not be sufficient to diagnose diastolic dysfunction. A number of invasive and non-invasive parameters have been proposed to diagnose diastolic dysfunction. Most of the presently used non-invasive parameters have a number of limitations. High fidelity measurement of the left ventricular pressures is needed to accurately diagnose diastolic dysfunction. Obtaining it in routine clinical practice is impractical.

In this protocol the investigators have proposed a novel non-invasive parameter called 'Torsional Hysteresis' as a measure of diastolic function. This will be measured using non-invasive cardiac MRI technique. During left ventricular contraction and relaxation, myocardium deforms. During cardiac cycle the myocardium goes back to baseline state prior to beginning of each contraction. However the rate with which it returns to the baseline state is variable. Torsion indicates relative wringing motion of the ventricle around a left ventricular axis and is a global parameter of left ventricular deformation. The parameters have defined a new parameter called torsional hysteresis based on non invasive cardiac MRI assessment. The parameters have hypothesized that for diastolic dysfunction, the torsional hysteresis area is increased as compared to no diastolic dysfunction group.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
