Trial Outcomes & Findings for Myocardial Lipid and Creatine of Heart Failure on MRS (NCT NCT02378402)

NCT ID: NCT02378402

Last Updated: 2019-10-21

Results Overview

We quantified the total myocardial TG resonance as well as its components including FA (lipid resonances δ 0.9, 1.3 and 1.6 ppm) and UFA (lipid resonance δ 2.1 and 2.3, 2.8, 5.3 ppm) from water-suppressed spectra. We also determined the water resonance (\~ δ 4.7 ppm) from spectra without water suppression. Myocardial TG content relative to water as well as relative amounts of myocardial TG was calculated from the available data.

Unstable HF Group
Patients with acute HF episode with hospitalization treatment within 12 months, currently LVEF\<50%. Proton (1H-) magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. Proton (1H-) magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy: PRESS localized 1D MRS sequence was used on a 3-T MR system. The lipid resonances will be analyzed using the LC-Model algorithm, and a Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) threshold of 50% was used as quality control. Resonances of fatty acid (FA, lipid resonances δ 0.9, 1.3 and 1.6 ppm) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA, lipid resonance δ 2.1 and 2.3, 2.8, 5.3 ppm) will be evaluated on MRS, with ratios normalized with total TG value.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 month

We quantified the total myocardial TG resonance as well as its components including FA (lipid resonances δ 0.9, 1.3 and 1.6 ppm) and UFA (lipid resonance δ 2.1 and 2.3, 2.8, 5.3 ppm) from water-suppressed spectra. We also determined the water resonance (\~ δ 4.7 ppm) from spectra without water suppression. Myocardial TG content relative to water as well as relative amounts of myocardial TG was calculated from the available data.
