About this study

Official title: Right Ventricular Function in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Assessed by Real-time Three-dimensional Echocardiography

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with obstructive sleep apnea have any changes in right ventricular function evaluated by three dimensional echocardiography.

Read the detailed description

Several studies have reported the association between sleep disorders to an increased risk to the development of cardiac disease. However, there is no substantial that about the influence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the right ventricular function. Objective: to analyse the right ventricular function in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea by means of Real-Time Three dimensional Echocardiography.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Associação Fundo de Incentivo à Pesquisa at 1 site in Brazil.

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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
