Clinical Trial Summary

A prospective, longitudinal, non-comparator, non-randomized observational cohort study to assess the quality of life in adult patients affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and thoracic aortic dilatations who are not amenable to surgery, as well as those affected radiation-induced cardiac disease caused by radiation therapy.


Description:

While physicians and patients may be aware of the physical limitations that result from a diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), thoracic aortic dilatation (TAD) or radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD), there is little research on the impact on quality of life from the limitations imposed with these diagnosis. This study aims to address these unknowns in patients with HCM or TAD as well as radiation-induced heart disease in first-time patients at the Cleveland Clinic. Knowledge gained from this study will provide us the ability for better management of the chronic impacts of the disease by identifying potential risk factors of low quality of life or changes in quality of life over time. This is a prospective, longitudinal, non-comparator, non-randomized survey study describing QOL outcomes for patients with HCM, TAD, or RIHD. Patients being seen for the first time at the Cleveland Clinic for cardiac disease with no previous or scheduled surgery for HCM or TAD will electronically complete a Cardiac Quality of Life Survey at 3 time points (baseline, 3 month & 9 month). The Cardiac Quality of Life Survey measures the participant's health status in five domains - global, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual - as well as self-efficacy and resilience.

Other:
QOL Survey
The Cardiac Quality of Life (QOL) survey measures health status in five domains: global, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. It also includes questions that assess self-efficacy and resilience. The global section asks about your overall quality of life and satisfaction with health. The physical section asks about symptoms and difficulty performing day-to-day tasks. The emotional section asks about depression, anxiety, and stress. The social section asks about social support and relationships. The spiritual section asks about the spiritual outlook on the burden of heart disease. Responses on a 5-level scale.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Global domain of Cardiac Quality of Life Survey assessed 9 months after baseline as compared to baseline. The global domain of the Cardiac Quality of Life Survey assesses global health. Three questions related to 1) Perceived overall quality of life, 2) & 3) Satisfaction with overall health status and with heart health. The Perceived overall quality of life responses range from very poor =1 to very good =5. 2) & 3) Satisfaction responses range from very dissatisfied=1 to very satisfied=5. Total global domain score ranges from 3 to 15 points. The higher the score the less impact the cardiac disease has on quality of life. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Physical domain of Cardiac Quality of Life Survey assessed 9 months after baseline as compared to baseline The physical domain of the Cardiac Quality of Life Survey assesses physical function. 13 questions. 1) Perception of overall physical health: responses ranging from 1=very poor to 5=very good. 2-6) Difficulty performing day-to-day physical tasks with responses ranging from 1=very easy to 5=very difficult. 7-13) Severity of heart disease symptoms affecting day-to-day physical activities: responses ranging from 1=never to 5=always. Total physical domain score ranges from 13 to 85. The higher the score the less impact the cardiac disease has on physical health. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Emotional domain of Cardiac Quality of Life Survey assessed 3 months after baseline as compared to baseline. The emotional domain of the Cardiac Quality of Life Survey assesses emotional health. 23 questions. 1) Perception of overall emotional health: responses ranging from 1=very poor to 5=very good. 2) effect of heart disease-related physical limitations on emotional health: responses ranging from 1=always to 5=never. Eight questions asking about anxiety with responses ranging from 1=always to 5=never. Seven questions assessing depression are incorporated with responses ranging from 1=always to 5=never. 19-23) affects from a traumatic event related to their health: responses ranging from 1=always to 5=never. Total emotional domain score ranges from 23 to 115. The higher the score the less impact the cardiac disease has on emotional health. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Social domain of Cardiac Quality of Life Survey assessed 9 months after baseline as compared to baseline. The social domain of the Cardiac Quality of life survey assesses social interaction and relationships. 10 questions. 1) Overall social interaction and relationships: responses ranging from 1=very poor to 5=very good. 2) Effect of heart disease-related physical limitations on social interaction: responses ranging from 1=always to 5=never. 3-10) Confidence in social interaction with friends and family: responses ranging from 1=always to 5=never. Total social domain score ranges from 10 to 50. The higher the score, the less impact the cardiac disease has on social health. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Spiritual domain of quality of life assessed 9 months after baseline visit as compared to the baseline survey in the outpatient clinic. The spiritual domain of the Cardiac Quality of life survey assesses attitudes patients have surrounding their faith and health status. 4 questions. One question asks about if one's faith helps in coping with heart-related problems with responses ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. Three questions ask about feelings of anger, injustice, and turmoil related to heart disease with responses ranging from 1=strongly agree to 5=strongly disagree. Total spiritual domain score ranges from 4 to 20. The higher the score, the less impact the cardiac disease has on spiritual health. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Self-efficacy assessed 9 months after baseline visit as compared to the baseline survey in the outpatient clinic. The self-efficacy domain of the Cardiac Quality of Life survey measures self-efficacy as it relates to symptoms of heart disease. Six questions from the Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire asks about confidence in controlling symptoms, controlling illness, and maintaining daily functioning with responses ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. Total self-efficacy score ranges from 6 to 30. The higher the score, the less impact the cardiac disease has on self-efficacy. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Resilience assessed 9 months after baseline visit as compared to the baseline survey in the outpatient clinic. The resilience domain of the Cardiac Quality of Life survey measures the ability to recover quickly from difficulties. 9 questions asking about adapting to change, coping with stress, overcoming obstacles, and handling unpleasant feelings with responses ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. Total resilience score ranges from 9 to 45. The higher the score, more resilient the participant is in facing problems related to cardiac disease. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Impact of heritability of cardiac disease assessed 9 months after baseline visit as compared to the baseline survey in the outpatient clinic. Patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were asked questions about how the heritability of their cardiac disease affected their quality of life. 3 questions asking about how heritable cardiac disease affects the health and happiness of family members with responses ranging from 1=always to 5=never. Total score ranges from 3 to 15. The higher the score, the less impact the heritability of the cardiac disease as on the quality of life of the patient. 9 months after baseline visit
Primary Impact of radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) assessed at baseline visit in the outpatient clinic. RIHD patients are asked about radiation therapy history, awareness of risk of RIHD, and impact on QOL. 7 questions. One question asks about time since last radiation therapy, ranging from 1= less than 5 years ago to 5=more than 30years ago. Another asks about time since RIHD diagnosis, ranging from 1=within the past week to 5=more than five years ago. One question asks about the duration of time between the symptoms of RIHD and diagnosis of RIHD with responses ranging from 1= less than 1 month to 5=more than 1 year. One question asks about the awareness of risk of RIHD before radiation therapy with responses ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. These four questions were not totaled. Three questions ask about the overall QOL before and after RIHD diagnosis and after treatment for RIHD. Responses ranged from 1=very poor to 5=very good. Total score for this section ranges from 3 to 15 with a higher score indicating RIHD had less of an impact on the overall QOL. Baseline visit
