Assessment of Right Ventricular Function by Cardiac MRI in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (IRMA)
Study Purpose
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathophysiological condition defined by an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure above 20mmHg, which encompasses many very dissimilar conditions. Right ventricular function is the major determinant of survival in these patients. Currently, right ventricular function is estimated by trans-thoracic echocardiography via the measurement of standardised parameters. However, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is now the reference technique for non-invasive quantification of volumes, mass, function of the right ventricle but can also be useful for the consideration of the pulmonary circulation. Thus, indices of function can be extracted and it plays an increasing role in the prognostic evaluation of the right heart function at diagnosis and at re-evaluation under treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. This work will initially focus on the assessment of right ventricular myocardial work by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in comparison with invasive haemodynamic data.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT05624242 |
|
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
