About this study

Official title: Effect of Heart Valve Replacement on Cheyne-Stokes Respiration in Patients With Rheumatic Heart Disease

Sleep disordered breathing, especially central sleep apnea, is common in patients with chronic heart failure. Heart valve replacement could have some effect on central sleep apnea. The aim of the study is to investigate effect of heart valve replacement on Cheyne-Stokes respiration in patients with rheumatic heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Sleep apnea, especially central sleep apnea, has a high prevalence in patients with chronic heart failure. Although sleep disordered breathing (SDB) have been described in patients with heart disease, the prevalence is not known because: ①There are various forms of SDBs, including obstructive sleep apnea(OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), and mixed forms of sleep apnea syndromes that have variable prevalence; ②Patients suffering from rheumatic valve disease usually have varying degrees of heart failure, and this variability affects estimates of prevalence; ③There are no international patient registries and SDB is underdiagnosed in many parts of the world.

The previous studies are most focusing on nonvalvular disease. We ①investigate the prevalence and the risk factors of Cheyne-Stokes respiration in patients with heart valve diseases, ②compare the changes of parameters of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration and heart function (like apnea hypopnea index, pulse oxygen saturation, blood pressure, echocardiogram, electrocardiogram, 6-minute walk test) before heart valve replacement and 3, 6, and 12 months after the surgery.

With nocturnal polysomnography (PSG) examination 30 patients typical CSR are going to be screened out from 300 patients with heart valve disease and waiting for cardiac surgery. The Comparison of 30 patients undergoing heart valve replacement will be performed before and 3, 6, and 12 months following heart valve replacement. We shall analyze the changes of CSR before and after valve replacement as well as the correlation among cardiac function and PSG parameters.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of CSR index before and 3, 6, 12 months following valve replacement.

    The primary goal of this study is to compare the changes of polysomnography(PSG) parameters(index of CSR, apnea hypopnea index, pulse oxygen saturation, etc)before and 3, 6, 12 months following the cardiac valve replacement surgery.

    Measured: 1 year after cardiac surgery of each enrolled patient

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Association of PSG parameters with cardiac function before and 3, 6, 12 months following valve replacement

    The secondary goal of this study is to determine the association of PSG parameters(index of CSR, apnea hypopnea index, pulse oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram, etc)and cardiac function (LVEF, 6-minute walk test, etc) before and 3, 6, 12 months following the cardiac valve replacement surgery. Qualities of life and sleep will also be masured before and 3, 6, 12 months after surgery. (The quality of life is assessed by reference to "The Medical Outcomes Study 36item Short-Form Health Survey"(SF-36) generic questionnaire, and sleep quality is assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI).)

    Measured: 1 year after cardiac surgery of each enrolled patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing heart valve replacement in people with Cheyne-Stokes Respiration and Heart Valve Disease, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 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 26 Feb 2020. 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 China. 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?

Changes of CSR index before and 3, 6, 12 months following valve replacement. (time frame: 1 year after cardiac surgery of each enrolled patient). 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 NCT01426776, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 26 Feb 2020.
