About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of cardiorespiratory fitness and left ventricular function in type 2 diabetes after uncomplicated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

We hypothesize that exercise capacity, left ventricular diastolic function, and biochemical data improves after 12-wk exercise training in patients with type 2 diabetes underwent CABG.

Read the detailed description

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have higher incidence of coronary artery disease or left ventricular dysfunction, particularly diastolic dysfunction. Coronary artery bypass surgery is known to decrease the mortality rate in diabetes. Further exercise training can improve their cardiorespiratory fitness and the control of risk factors in these patients. However, the extent of improvement and the mechanism, especially the changes in left ventricular function, in diabetes after exercise training have not been fully explored.

Subjects will be assigned to the intervention or control group by randomization. Subjects in the intervention group will receive 60% VO2 max moderate aerobic exercise training, twice per week under supervision and three times per week at home, for 12 weeks. All subjects receive left ventricular function test by echocardiography and impedance cardiography, graded maximal exercise test, and biochemical analyses of sugar and lipid before and after 12 weeks. Their dietary intake and physical activity will be inquired every 4 weeks by questionnaires.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Exercise trainingBehavioural

    Subjects attended a supervised treadmill training session three times per week in an outpatient facility for three months. Training duration was 30 minutes per session, including a 5-minute warm-up and cool-down phase. Training intensity was initially set at about 60% of HR reserve and close to the anerobic threshold (AT) and the gradually increased as tolerated.

  • ControlOther

    Subjects received general education including proper diet, regular physical activity or medical care if necessary through an interview with a physical therapist.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Exercise capacity

    Exercise capacity was assessed by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak)via exercise testing. VO2peak was measured by a metabolic measurement system (Vmax229 Metabolic Measurement System, Sensor Medics, Anaheim, CA).

    Measured: Three months after the start of the intervention

  2. Diastolic heart function

    Echocardiographic examination including color B mode TDI with a commercially available 2.5- to 3.75-MHz phased array transducer (Philips, SONOS 5500, Andover, MA)was used to evaluate diastolic function.

    Measured: Three months after the start of the intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Endothelial function

    Examined by flow-mediated vasodilation

    Measured: Three months after the start of the intervention

  2. Hemodynamics

    Heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV) were collected at rest, during the exercise test, and during the recovery phase by a noninvasive bioimpedance cardiograph device (PhysioFlow PF-05, Manatec Biomedical, Paris, France). Cardiac output (CO) and arteriovenous oxygen difference ((a-v)O2 difference) were then determined by the following equations: CO=HR*SV and (a-v)O2 difference=VO2/SV*HR

    Measured: Three times after the start of the intervention

  3. Blood test

    Including fasting glucose, HbA1c, total cholesterol (TC), high-density liporpotein (HDL-c) and triglyceride (TG).

    Measured: Three months after the start of the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise training in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent and Coronary Arteriosclerosis, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Exercise capacity (time frame: Three months after the start of the intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Apr 2011.
