Low-Dose Dobutamine Tc-99m-Mibi Gated SPECT to Predict Left Ventricular Remodelling in Patients Reperfused in the Acute Phase of MI
This study has been completed.
Sponsored by: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Information provided by: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00487812
  Purpose

Left myocardial infarction (MI), has a negative impact of long term morbidity and mortality. Even in patients treated successfully by angioplasty in the acute phase of infarct, the remodelling is observed in approximately 30% of cases. It is important to predict the occurrence of this phenomenon in the early phase after MI for the selection of patients who could eventually benefit from new therapeutic approach as for example cell replacement therapy. It has been advocated that stem cells coronary injections should be performed between the 5th and 10th day after an acute event. We hypothesise that a low dose dobutamine gated Tc-99m-mibi SPECT performed on 5th-6th day after reperfused acute MI can predict left ventricular remodelling and serve as a method to screen patients who could benefit from cell replacement therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Development of left ventricular remodelling at 6-month follow-up [ Time Frame: at 6-months follow-up ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Development of overt heart failure [ Time Frame: development of overt heart failure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 50
Study Start Date: December 2004
Study Completion Date: September 2008
Primary Completion Date: August 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Procedure: Low-dose dobutamine Tc-99-m-mibi gated SPECT imaging
    All patients will be evaluated by ce-MRI during the initial hospital stay (5th - 6th day)
Detailed Description:

All patients will be evaluated by ce-MRI during the initial hospital stay (5th - 6th day) and at 6-month follow-up. Left ventricular remodelling will be defined as an end-diastolic volume increase of >20% between the two exams. A low dose dobutamine gated Tc-99m-mibi SPECT will be also performed on 5th-6th day. Differences in the infarct size and severity as well as the residual inotrope reserve in the infarct area are expected between groups with and without remodelling.
