A Prospective Study to Assess the Utility of CA-4F in a Canadian Cardiology Setting
- Conditions
- Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy ("ATTR-CM")
- Interventions
- Device: CA-4F
- Registration Number
- NCT05210010
- Lead Sponsor
- Ensho Health Intelligent Systems Inc.
- Brief Summary
This study will assess whether CA-4F can improve diagnosis of ATTR-CM in a community cardiology setting when used to screen electronic medical record data for patients suitable for follow-up investigations.
- Detailed Description
This is a prospective multicentre observational study to assess whether CA-4F can improve diagnosis of ATTR-CM in a community cardiology setting when used to screen electronic medical record data for patients suitable for follow-up investigations.
The algorithm will be used to screen electronic health records of participating cardiologists for patients suitable for PYP scans to investigate potential ATTR-CM and determine its positive predictive value.
Input parameters to the algorithm will be extracted from the pseudonymized electronic health records of patients who visited participating cardiologists in the 12 months preceding their enrolment.
The records of patients with elevated pre-test likelihood of ATTR-CM will be queried for Canadian Heart Failure Society red flag symptoms to facilitate clinical review. Participating cardiologists will review the red flag symptoms and electronic health records of patients with elevated pre-test likelihoods and document whether further investigation with PYP is clinically justified with supporting rationale.
Patients for which further investigation is clinically justified will be referred for confirmatory testing and the results of additional investigations will be documented. The positive predictive values of "moderate", "high" and "very high" CA-4F Risk Scores will be calculated by determining the percentage of those patients for which further investigations were performed and resulted in diagnosis of ATTR-CM.
