NCT06037434

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a modified drug therapy with traditional drug therapy in pediatric patients with mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Can a modified drug therapy improve both left ventricular and mitral valve function in pediatric patients with mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation?
  • Can the adverse drug reactions caused by the modified drug therapy be non-inferior (clinically acceptable) to those of the traditional drug therapy? Participants will be assigned to either the Modified Drug Therapy Group (comprising angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I), beta-blockers, diuretics, potassium supplements, and spironolactone) or the Traditional Drug Therapy Group (diuretics and potassium supplements) based on personal preferences and clinical assessments by their attending physicians. They will undergo a one-year course of medication. Additionally, echocardiography, electrocardiograms, complete blood counts, biochemical tests, and measurements of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were conducted before the initiation of medication therapy and at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after treatment commencement. Researchers will compare the Modified Drug Therapy Group and the Traditional Drug Therapy Group to see if the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, as assessed by echocardiography after 12 months of treatment, is lower in the former than in the latter.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation

    During follow-up visits, echocardiographic examination is conducted to measure the degree of mitral valve regurgitation. If it falls within the moderate to severe range, it is recorded as a recurrence.

    after 12 months of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Improvement in symptoms

    after 12 months of treatment

  • Change in left ventricular ejection fraction

    after 12 months of treatment

  • Change in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter

    after 12 months of treatment

  • NT-proBNP level

    after 12 months of treatment

  • Incidence rate of drug adverse reactions

    after 12 months of treatment
