Trial summary

The prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) reaches more than 50% in chronic heart failure patients (CHF). The main consequence is an increase risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events. A treatment by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or adaptative servo-ventilation (ASV) reduces this risk. Read more about this study

About this study

The prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) reaches more than 50% in chronic heart failure patients (CHF). The main consequence is an increase risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events. A treatment by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or adaptative servo-ventilation (ASV) reduces this risk. Nevertheless, 75% of severe SDB cases remains undiagnosed and untreated especially due to cost and time delay for polysomnography examination which is the gold standard for SDB diagnosis. Indeed, alternative methods are developed. Some methods, based on nocturnal ECG analysis showed promising results but they are not validated and adapted for cardiac population. Thus, the goal of present study is to test the accuracy of ECG derived respiration signal to screen SDB in a CHF population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)

    Standard nocturnal in-home ventilatory polygraphic recordings. The AHI is calculated only on nocturnal ECG analysis

    Measured: At patient polygraphic recording

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. AHI in subgroup patient with sinusal rhythm

    Measured: At patient polygraphic recording

  2. AHI in subgroup with implanted pacemaker

    Measured: At patient polygraphic recording

  3. AHI in subgroup with atrial fibrillation

    Measured: At patient polygraphic recording

  4. AHI in subgroup with bundle branch block

    Measured: At patient polygraphic recording

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Sleep Apnea Syndromes, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 13 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 31 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) (time frame: At patient polygraphic recording). 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 31 Mar 2015.
