About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Oscillatory Pattern of Sympathetic Nerve Activity Muscle in Patients With Heart Failure

The purpose of this study is to determine whether oscillatory pattern of sympathetic nerve activity muscle is an efficient index for the prognosis of patients with heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peripheral autonomic control

    Evaluate if the reduction in the oscillatory pattern of muscle sympathetic nerve activity is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure in a clinical follow-up 12 months

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Arterial baroreflex control

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Blood inflammatory markers

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Cardiac and peripheral autonomic control

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Functional Capacity

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2015. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Edgar Toschi Dias, PhD (55 11 2661-5099, edgar.dias@incor.usp.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Peripheral autonomic control (time frame: 12 months). 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 22 Sep 2015.
