  Purpose

This is a prospective cohort study investigating cardiac function and cardiac biomarkers in patients with acute Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (aSAH). The aims of the study are to document the incidence of myocardial dysfunction,to find the predictive factors of myocardial dysfunction, describe heart rate variability and to assess the impact of all cardiac problems on morbidity and mortality.


Condition
Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Heamorrhage
Nontraumatic Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Cardiopulmonary Complication in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage Patients

Further study details as provided by Kuopio University Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Incidence of cardiac failure and the impact of cardiac problems on morbidity [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    The aims of the study are:

    1. to document the incidence of myocardial dysfunction
    2. to find the predictive factors of myocardial dysfunction as determined by the severity aneurysmal bleeding (Hunt and Hess-grading, Glasgow coma score, Fisher scale) and demographic factors
    3. to find predictive factors for myocardial dysfunction as determined by laboratory findings, electrocardiography, and echocardiography
    4. to describe heart rate variability
    5. to assess the impact of all cardiac problems on morbidity


Estimated Enrollment: 200
Study Start Date: July 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2015
Estimated Primary Completion Date: July 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
