Trial summary

In this study, up to 20 healthy individuals, 20 endo-ACAB patients, and 20 CABG patients undergo a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test after hospital discharge (for patients only). Exercise tolerance is compared between groups. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exercise Tolerance in Patients With Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG) and Sternotomy vs. Patients With Minimally Invasive Coronary Surgery

In this study, up to 20 healthy individuals, 20 endo-ACAB patients, and 20 CABG patients undergo a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test after hospital discharge (for patients only). Exercise tolerance is compared between groups.

Read the detailed description

In this prospective observational study, up to 20 healthy individuals (no history or presence of any chronic disease, sedentary), 20 endo-ACAB patients, and 20 CABG patients (matched for age, gender and BMI) undergo a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test after hospital discharge (for patients only).During this exercise test, following parameters are assessed at peak effort and at the second ventilatory threshold (determined by VE/VCO2 slope method): oxygen uptake (VO2), oxygen saturation (SaO2), carbon dioxide output (VCO2), resoiratory gas exchange ratio (RER), expiratory volume (VE), ventilatory equivalent for VCO2 (VE/VCO2), ventilatory equivalent for VO2 (VE/VO2), end-tidal O2 pressure (PETO2), end-tidal CO2 pressure (PETCO2), heart rate (HR), oxygen pulse (VO2/HR), cycling power output (W), tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), rate pressure product (RPP). Peak exercise effort is validated by RERpeak.

What is being measured

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

  1. VO2peak (peak oxygen uptake)

    Peak oxygen uptake capacity, expressed as ml/min.

    Measured: At peak exercise, single measurement which is executed between 2-4 weeks after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, run by Hasselt University at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 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 19 Aug 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 Belgium. 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?

VO2peak (peak oxygen uptake) (time frame: At peak exercise, single measurement which is executed between 2-4 weeks after surgery.). 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 19 Aug 2015.
