NCT05161884

Brief Summary

BOLD measured with MRI may be a useful noninvasive method for the assessment of right ventricular O2 saturation. A validation of this method against right heart catheterization has not been fully performed. Whether the method may have a diagnostic and prognostic role in chronic heart failure patients is unclear.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • oxygenation within the blood measured with MRI versus catherization

    Comparison of the accuracy of BOLD MRI versus right heart catheterization (RHC)

    1 Year

  • differences in oxygenation within different heart failure groups

    Analysis of the sensitivity of BOLD measurements as a new diagnostic method for dyspnea at first presentation for various clinical applications

    1 Year

Study Arms (6)

Preclinical Study group

n=10 Landrace pigs The aim of the pre-clinical study was to assess the accuracy of BOLD-T2 MRI in acute systemic hyper- and hypoxemia in a porcine model in contrast to cardiac catheterization.

Validation Study group

n=25 The patients have an indication for a right heart catheter examination. This is a routine diagnostic examination that is performed on these patients. Compared to the clinical routine, an additional MRI measurement will be performed. The measurement will be performed before the cardiac catheterization. For the MRI examination, the patient/subject is placed in a magnetic resonance imaging machine. The MRI examination initially includes approximately 15 minutes of standard images for orientation and determination of function, morphology, and tissue characteristics. This is followed by images to determine oxygen saturation in the ventricles (approximately 5 minutes). If a CMR examination is already planned for a patient for other reasons, this will only be extended by the recordings for the determination of oxygen saturation (approx. 5 minutes) at the time of study inclusion. During the MRI measurements, patients will also perform a stepper stress test.

Pulmonary Hypertension group

n=25 patients with pulmonary hypertension (definition: pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) above 25 mmHg)

Valvular heart disease group

n=25 patients with valvular heart disease (at least moderate)

Ischemic cardiomyopathy group

n=25 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy

HFpEF group

n=25 patients with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, definition: EF over 50%, heart failure symptoms, elevated NT-proBNP over 400pg/ml)

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

All male and female patients (age ≥ 18 years) of the Cardiology Clinic at Campus Virchow Klinikum and Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin will be screened with regard to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients eligible on the basis of these criteria will be included in the study after informed consent and written consent. I Part (validation) In the first part of the study (the validation), a total of 25 patients were to be scheduled for right heart catheterization. II part (clinical study) In the second part will be a total of 100 patients with dyspnea and clinical indication for MRI and 25 healthy control patients.

You may qualify if:

  • Age \> 18 years Ability to follow the study according to study protocol General ability to consent Presence of a written consent of the study participant Patients with a clinical indication for right heart catheterization

You may not qualify if:

  • Age \<18 years. Pregnancy (for women of childbearing age, a pregnancy test is performed if pregnancy is possible) or breastfeeding.
  • Hemodynamically unstable patients (heart rate \< 50/min, systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg, circulatory support devices: IABP, Impella) Complex supra- or ventricular arrhythmia occurring at rest or on exertion Right ventricular thrombus Recent pulmonary embolism Pulmonary instability (oxygen depletion or peripheral oxygen saturation \<90%) Chronic lung disease (FEV\< 35% on spirometry) Claustrophobia Sensorineural hearing loss from 30 dB and tinnitus
