Heart Failure, Congestive
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Heart Failure, Congestive focused on measuring Heart Failure, nuclear cardiology, sympathetic innervation, 123I-mIBG
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Study subjects must be adults with an established diagnosis of heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II or III) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (≤ 35%) or be healthy volunteers without heart disease. Exclusion Criteria: Healthy volunteers were not eligible if they had a history of diabetes mellitus, signs/symptoms of neurological disease (e.g., Parkinson's Disease, multiple system atrophy, Parkinsonian syndromes), or other diseases known to affect the sympathetic nervous system. Subjects with New York Heart Association Class I or IV heart failure were not eligible. Subjects were excluded if they had previously received 123I-mIBG or 131I-mIBG or participated in a clinical study involving investigational medicinal product or devices within 30 days. Subjects that had a pacemaker or had received defibrillation, anti-tachycardia pacing or cardioversion to treat a previous arrhythmic event or had an ICD inserted within 30 days before study entry are not eligible.
