About this study

Official title: Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training on Ventilatory Efficiency in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that patients with coronary artery disease with lower aerobic fitness exhibit greater responsiveness on improving ventilatory efficiency after aerobic exercise training.

Read the detailed description

Measurements of ventilatory efficiency during cardiorespiratory exercise testing typically expressed as the minute ventilation/ carbon dioxide production ratio have been validated to be useful in assessing the presence and severity of both heart and lung diseases. In this context, previous studies have showed ventilatory inefficiency in patients with coronary artery disease suggests abnormalities in the distribution of ventilation and perfusion in the lungs. In addition, a growing body of studies has demonstrated that lower ventilatory efficiency during exercise is considered an important predictor of risk mortality, hospitalization, and other outcomes than peak VO2.

What participants receive

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

  • Aerobic exercise trainingOther

    The exercise training program was comprised of three 60-minute exercise sessions per week over a 3-month period. Each exercise session consisted of a 5 minute warm up, 30-50 minutes of aerobic exercise performed on a treadmill and 5 minutes of cool-down exercises. Aerobic exercise intensity was set at the corresponding heart rate between the VAT and RCP. All patients were able to achieve the set aerobic training intensity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ventilatory efficiency in patients with coronary artery disease

    Measurements of ventilatory efficiency during cardiopulmonary exercise testing typically expressed as the minute ventilation/ carbon dioxide production ratio have been validated to be useful in assessing the presence and severity of both heart and lung diseases. In this context, previous studies have showed ventilatory inefficiency in patients with coronary artery disease suggests abnormalities in the distribution of ventilation and perfusion in the lungs.

    Measured: up to 3 months of the interventions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aerobic exercise training in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Exercise Addiction, run by Hospital TotalCor.

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 4 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 8 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Ventilatory efficiency in patients with coronary artery disease (time frame: up to 3 months of the interventions). 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 NCT02106533, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Apr 2014.
