The Effect of the Hyperinsulinemic Normoglycemic Clamp on Myocardial Function and Utilization of Glucose

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Hyperglycemia; Aortic Valve Replacement; Aortic Stenosis; Cardiac Surgery

• Registration Number: NCT01187329
• Lead Sponsor: The Cleveland Clinic

Brief Summary

The overall research plan is to test the hypothesis that intraoperative treatment of hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp (HNC) in cardiac surgical patients improves myocardial function and short-term outcomes compared with standard glucose management.

Detailed Description

Specific Aim #1:To determine whether intraoperative use of HNC affords cardioprotective benefits measured by improved echocardiographic measures of myocardial function, serum markers of cardiomyocyte injury, and hemodynamic indices measured immediately (at end of surgery) and during the short-term (initial hospitalization).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Myocardial Function: Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (%)	end of surgery (closure), an average of 5 minutes	Left ventricular global longitudinal strain measured by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography at end of surgery and assessed using off-line speckle-tracking echocardiography.; higher values (%) mean a worse outcome.
Intraoperative Left Ventricular (LV) Global Longitudinal Strain Rate	end of surgery (closure) an average of 5 minutes	Left ventricular global longitudinal strain rate measured by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography at end of surgery and assessed using off-line speckle-tracking echocardiography.; higher values mean a worse outcome

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Intraoperative Right Ventricular (RV) Systolic Longitudinal Strain	end of surgery (closure) an average of 5 minutes	Right ventricular global longitudinal strain measured by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography at end of surgery and assessed using off-line speckle-tracking echocardiography.; higher values mean a worse outcome.
Intraoperative Right Ventricular (RV) Systolic Longitudinal Strain Rate	end of surgery (closure) an average of 5 minutes	Right ventricular global longitudinal strain rate measured by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography at end of surgery and assessed using off-line speckle-tracking echocardiography.; higher values mean a worse outcome
