About this study

To determine if pre-race training effects heart damage induced by marathon running.

Read the detailed description

Investigations have shown increases in cardiac markers consistent with myocardial injury and left ventricular dysfunction in both recreational and elite athletes after endurance exercise. Pre-race training is an important component of endurance events, yet its effect on cardiovascular injury is unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the correlation between myocardial injury and training level in recreational marathon runners utilizing both objective and subjective measures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Troponin and Natriuretic Peptide, Brain, run by Stanford University.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 19 Nov 2007. 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?

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.

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 19 Nov 2007.
