Who may be able to join

  • Patients :
  • Patients who have provided written informed consent

  • Healthy volunteers:
  • Subjects who have provided written informed consent
  • Subjects with national health insurance cover
  • Men or women aged between 18 and 85 years.

Who cannot join

  • Patients:
  • persons without national health insurance cover
  • Severe obstructive cardiopathy,
  • severe aortic valve stenosis,
  • severe progressive heart rhythm or conduction disorders not corrected with a pacemaker, discovered at the initial effort test
  • intra-cavitary thrombus,
Show all 15Show fewer
  • severe pulmonary artery hypertension (systolic pulmonary arterial hypertension >70mmHg),
  • recent history of venous trombo-embolism (last 3 months),
  • impaired executive function making it impossible to understand and follow reconditioning programme (Mini Mental Test < 24),
  • heart transplant,
  • associated medical disorders that could predominately impair functional capacity compared with the chronic heart failure (examples: respiratory insufficiency, non-stabilized metabolic disorders such as progressive kidney failure, severe asthenia related to a severe non-stabilized disorder such as neoplasia, systemic disease…).
  • associated chronic motor deficit of a neurological origin (example: sequelae of a cerebrovascular accident), an osteo-articular origin (example: impairment due to Rheumatoid arthritis), of a peripheral vascular disease (example: peripheral artery disease, venous disease, lymphedema) will not be included in the exclusion criteria provided thay are compatible with the level of physical ability defined in the inclusion criteria. The presence of an implantable pacemaker and/or defibrillator will not be an exclusion criterion
  • Healthy volunteers:
  • persons without national health insurance cover
  • Any organic disorder whatever its nature (cardiac, respiratory, neurological, orthopedic, …) that could affect adaptation to effort or is a contra-indication for physical activity.

About this study

This is a single-centre open randomized parallel-group study. Patients will be selected at random to be included in group 1: eccentric rehabilitation or group 2: conventional rehabilitation.

In addition, a group of healthy volunteers aged between 20 and 85 years will also be recruited. This group will make it possible to evaluate, during the two exercise sessions, mechanisms of adaptation linked to eccentric exercise vs concentric exercise.

Being tested
initial evaluation, Period of cardiac rehabilitation, final evaluation, Concentric and eccentric exercise sessions

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of performance in the 6-minute walk test between the initial assessment and the final assessment of a reconditioning programme

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evolution of functional and physiological capacities and tolerance criteria

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing initial evaluation, Period of cardiac rehabilitation and final evaluation in people with Chronic Heart Failure and Reconditioning to Effort, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 15 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 May 2019. 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 France. 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?

Evolution of performance in the 6-minute walk test between the initial assessment and the final assessment of a reconditioning programme (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 7 May 2019.
