Trial summary

Watching football matches could cause increased blood pressure and heart rate induced by catecholamines and thus increase the incidence of cardiovascular events. However, no studies have evaluated the responses of blood pressure and heart rate in soccer spectators. Read more about this study

About this study

Watching football matches could cause increased blood pressure and heart rate induced by catecholamines and thus increase the incidence of cardiovascular events. However, no studies have evaluated the responses of blood pressure and heart rate in soccer spectators.

This study evaluates the hemodynamic response in Brazilian soccer fans suffering from coronary artery disease during a dispute over a game of your favorite team.

Being tested
Soccer, Movie

What is being measured

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

  1. Average mean arterial pressure

    To evaluate the difference between the average mean arterial pressure in patients with coronary artery disease, or not watching a game of soccer your favorite team;

    Measured: 90 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean heart rate

    To evaluate the difference between the mean heart rate;

    Measured: 90 minutes

  2. Systolic blood pressure

    To evaluate the difference between the systolic blood pressure;

    Measured: 90 minutes

  3. Diastolic blood pressure

    To evaluate the difference between the diastolic blood pressure;

    Measured: 90 minutes

  4. Double product

    To evaluate the difference between the double product (the product of heart rate and systolic blood pressure);

    Measured: 90 minutes

  5. Angina

    To evaluate the difference between the presence of angina;

    Measured: 90 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Soccer and Movie in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Instituto de Cardiologia de Santa Catarina 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 24 Dec 2012. 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 Brazil. 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.

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?

Average mean arterial pressure (time frame: 90 minutes). 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 24 Dec 2012.
