About this study

Official title: Effect of Continuous and Interval Exercise Training on PETCO2 Response During Graded Exercise Test in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate: 1) the effects of continuous exercise training and interval exercise training on end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2) response during graded exercise test in patients with coronary artery disease; and 2) examine the effects of exercise training modalities on the association among PETCO2 at ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) and indicators of ventilatory efficiency and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with coronary artery disease.

Read the detailed description

End-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2) is a noninvasive index considered to be a good indicator in evaluating the ventilation/perfusion relationship in patients over a wide range conditions. Variations in PETCO2 have been shown to reflect changes in both cardiac output and pulmonary blood flow in animals and humans under constant ventilation. In this regard, it has been shown that patients with cardiac disease have an abnormally low PETCO2 during exercise, especially those with an impaired response of cardiac output during exercise

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • aerobic exercise trainingOther

    Also called continuous training, interval training

    The continuous exercise training was performed on a treadmill with a 50-minutes duration and intensity at ventilatory anaerobic threshold.

    The interval exercise training consisted of 7 sets of 3 minutes at respiratory compensation point and 7 sets of 3 minutes of exercise at moderate intensity corresponding to the ventilatory anaerobic threshold totaling 42 minutes

What is being measured

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

  1. PetCO2 response during graded exercise test

    End-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2) is a noninvasive index considered to be a good indicator in evaluating the ventilation/perfusion relationship in patients over a wide range conditions (1,2). Variations in PETCO2 have been shown to reflect changes in both cardiac output and pulmonary blood flow in animals and humans under constant ventilation

    Measured: before and after 3 months of the interventions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing aerobic exercise training in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Exercise Addiction, run by Hospital TotalCor.

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 23 Jan 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

PetCO2 response during graded exercise test (time frame: before and after 3 months of the interventions). 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 23 Jan 2012.
