Trial summary

We plan to test the hypothesis that patients with metabolic syndrome will have impaired left ventricular diastolic parameters. These parameters will be measured before and after a stress test at the end of a 3 month period of exercise training and a 10% weight loss. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exercise in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome and Weight Regain - Echocardiography Substudy

We plan to test the hypothesis that patients with metabolic syndrome will have impaired left ventricular diastolic parameters. These parameters will be measured before and after a stress test at the end of a 3 month period of exercise training and a 10% weight loss.

Read the detailed description

Patients must have 2 of the 5 criteria for metabolic syndrome and be able to exercise in a monitored setting for 45 min 5 times a week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Resting E/E'

    E/E' is an echocardiographic parameter where E = early mitral inflow velocity and E' = early diastolic mitral annular motion. Measured in all participants prior to treadmill stress test.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Post-exercise E/E'

    E/E' is an echocardiographic parameter where E = early mitral inflow velocity and E' = early diastolic mitral annular motion. Measured in all participants immediately following treadmill stress test.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Resting Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2 Max)

    Measure of the maximum volume of oxygen that a body is capable of utilizing in one minute, measured in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). Measured in all participants prior to treadmill stress test.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Change in Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2 Max)

    Measure of the maximum volume of oxygen that a body is capable of utilizing in one minute, measured in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min) Measured in all participants immediately following treadmill stress test.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stress Echocardiography in people with Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity, run by University of Missouri-Columbia.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 1 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Nov 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Resting E/E' (time frame: 12 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00543985, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Mar 2017.
