About this study

Official title: Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Acute Myocardial Infarction and the Role of CPAP Treatment: a Double -Blind, Randomized Control Trial

Specific Aim

  1. To determine the prevalence of OSA in patients of first-time AMI in acute phase By screening patients of first-time, single-vessel disease, Killip I AMI, and successful revascularization
  2. To determine the impact of CPAP treatment on the prognosis of AMI Using sham CPAP as the optimal placebo, we conduct this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial to assess the 12-week CPAP effect in moderate-severe OSA patients.
  3. To determine how the OSA affects patients with MI in acute and chronic phase and vice versa, which is dissected from mechanical basis and molecular basis By comparing the clinical parameters of AMI patients without OSA (AHI<5/hr), mild OSA (5 < AHI <15), moderate OSA (15<AHI<30) and severe OSA5 (AHI>30/hr), and before and after CPAP treatment, we can determine the interaction between OSA and AMI.
Read the detailed description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a major public health problem affecting at least 2-4% of middle-aged population. OSA resulted in hypoxia and sleep fragmentation, which resulted in neurocognitive dysfunction and cardiovascular sequelaes. The cardiovascular sequelaes in OSA included hypertension, coronary artery disease and heart failure. Our data showed among 599 moderate-sever OSA (AHI<15/hr), 44.5% patients had cardiovascular disease, which included 41.4% having hypertension,7% having CAD and 2.4% having congestive heart failure。 Though OSA is well known to be highly correlated with fatal and non-fatal cardiac event, only limited studies investigated how OSA affected acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Most studies concluded that AMI would worsen OSA and vice versa. However, how AMI exactly interacts with OSA and what the prevalence of OSA in the first-time AMI is have never been answered. Within four weeks from Nov. 15th 2007, we screened ten patients of first-time AMI with single-vessel disease and Killip I. Five in 10 received PSG and three in five have moderate OSA.

So far, CPAP is the standard treatment for patients with moderate to severe OSA. CPAP could improve airway patency, daytime sleepiness, functional status, blood pressure, metabolic abnormalities and quality of life. In our study, we enrolled 24 non-sleepy OSA and 30 sleepy OSA to study the four-week CPAP effect. The results showed the apnea-hypopnea index, hypoxia, arousal, sleepiness and fatigue could be corrected with CPAP treatment in both groups. However, CPAP could only lower risk factors for cardiovascular disease, like blood pressure, epinephrine, norepinephrine and CRP, in sleepy OSA. Our finding supported that CPAP effect was not similar in the subgroups of severe OSA, so CPAP effect should be studied in every subgroup of OSA patients before it's applied. Till now, there's no literatures reported if CPAP treatment would decrease the morbidity and mortality of AMI.

Sham CPAP mimicked all the characteristics of a true CPAP except for the null pressure, which was recently used as the placebo to study CPAP effect. Therefore, using this optimized placebo, we propose this double-blind, control randomized trial (1) To determine the prevalence of OSA in patients of first-time AMI in acute phase; (2) To determine the impact of CPAP treatment on the prognosis of AMI; (3) Determine how the OSA affects patients with MI in acute and chronic phase and vice versa, which is dissected from mechanical basis and molecular basis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP of optimal pressure in people with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and Acute Myocardial Infarction, 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 5 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 Dec 2010. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Primary goal: Intervention: Improvement of LVEF by 7%, decrease the left ventricular end-systolic dimension by 3 mm, 3D echo. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 1 Dec 2010.
