NCT01277679

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to establish a model for the evaluation of drug targets using postural measures to induce changes in lung water concentration as assessed by MRI. A reduction in the magnitude and rate of water transudation with postural changes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) could provide a model for the evaluation of various classes of molecules for target validation and for dose selection.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Lung water distribution as measured by MRI

    MRI test

    Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

  • Lung water concentration as measured by MRI

    MRI test

    Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Between patient variability in lung water concentration as measured by MRI at 2 independent visits

    Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

  • Within patient variability in lung water concentration as measured by MRI at 2 independent visits

    Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

  • Able in the opinion of the patient and investigator to be supine for 1 hour and to experience passive leg raising (PLR) whilst in the MRI scanner
  • Male or female over 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Negative urine or serum pregnancy test
  • Capable of giving written informed consent
  • Registered with a UK general practitioner.
  • Participants must read (in English) at a level sufficient to adequately complete study related questionnaires
