About this study

Vascular damage caused by diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, age and arterial hypertension theoretically changes pulse wave velocity.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes mellitus related vascular alterations are associated with an increased risk of hypertonia, atherosclerosis, neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and further more.

Increased vascular rigidity, which is based on the increased stiffness of vessels caused by vascular damage leads to an increase of pulse wave velocity. This assumption is based on the Moens-Korteweg-equation which is calculated using the modus of arterial vessel elasticity, arterial vessel wall thickness, the arterial radius and blood viscosity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulse wave arrival time difference between finger and toe, duration of diabetes

    The pulse wave is recorded by plethysmography using a pulse-oximeter and a continuous noninvasive arterial blood pressure measurement (CNAP-500) device, both on the finger and toe. The time between these 4 recorded waves is then calculated. The influence of age, duration of known arterial hypertension, cigarette smoking (pack-years) and diabetes mellitus.

    Measured: 1 Minute data recording of the pulse waves at four sites.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus Type II, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2014. 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 Austria. 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?

Pulse wave arrival time difference between finger and toe, duration of diabetes (time frame: 1 Minute data recording of the pulse waves at four sites.). 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 NCT02028091, which also lists 12 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 7 Jan 2014.
