Trial summary

Coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) may promote alterations in heart responses during exercise or postural maneuver. Thus, the purpose of this study is to observe the influence of different postures (supine, seated and standing) and different percentages (15, 30, 45 and 60%) of the maximum… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular Oscillations at Rest and During Isometric Exercise in Coronary Patients With and Without Type 2 Diabetes

Coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) may promote alterations in heart responses during exercise or postural maneuver. Thus, the purpose of this study is to observe the influence of different postures (supine, seated and standing) and different percentages (15, 30, 45 and 60%) of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of handgrip in the responses of heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV) and peripheral vascular resistance (PVR) in coronary patients with and without type 2 diabetes.

What participants receive

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

  • Isometric exerciseOther

    The isometric protocol (handgrip) will be performed into 4 percentages of MVC (15, 30, 45 and 60%) to exhaustion in 3 postures (supine, seated and standing position). The percentages and the postures will be randomized. In the first day of exercise protocol the subjects will be at rest during 10 minutes and will perform 3 MVC during 5 seconds, with 5 minutes of recovery. The higher value of MVC will be used to prescribe the percentages. The subjects will perform two contractions until exhaustion in one posture in each day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiovascular responses during isometric exercise

    15 men with coronary artery disease and 15 healthy subjects will perform isometric contractions (handgrip) in different percentages (15,30, 45 60%) of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) and in different postures (supine, seated and standing position). The percentages and postures will be randomized and the subjects will perform two contractions per day in a posture. All the variables will be evaluated through pulse plethysmograph (Finometer PRO, Finapress Medical System, The Netherlands). The subjects will be assessed in the protocol of isometric exercise for six days (two contractions per day and one posture). Initially they will remain at rest for 10 minutes and wiil perform the percentage drawn of maximal voluntary contraction until exhaustion. After 10 minutes of recovery subjects will perform another percentage of maximum contraction to exhaustion.

    Measured: Change in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume and peripheral resistance. [time frame: initial (10 min), during the time of contraction (peak) and after contraction (10 min)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Isometric exercise in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 26 Jan 2018. 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?

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?

Cardiovascular responses during isometric exercise (time frame: Change in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume and peripheral resistance. [time frame: initial (10 min), during the time of contraction (peak) and after contraction (10 min)). 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 NCT02050399, which also lists 6 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 26 Jan 2018.
