About this study

Official title: Applicability of the Six Minutes Walk Test and Shuttle Walk Test and Evaluation of Peripheral and Respiratory Muscle Function, Autonomic Control, Quality of Life and Sleep, Inflammatory Markers and Tissue Perfusion in Eisenmenger Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to verify the applicability Six minutes walk test and Shuttle walk test in assessing functional capacity in patients with Eisenmenger Syndrome. Patients will undergo three functional tests, being the six-minute walk test, shuttle walk test and cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer, associated with evaluation of metabolic and ventilatory variables and cardiac monitoring throughout the test.

Read the detailed description

It has seen an increasing number of individuals with congenital heart diseases mainly due to the development of new diagnostic techniques, assessment and treatment, thereby contributing to longer survival. These individuals that survive to adulthood, many sometimes develop other secondary problems to the underlying pathology, one of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. The Syndrome Eisenmenger is the most advanced form of pulmonary hypertension secondary to congenital heart defects. It is known that patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary congenital heart disease have marked functional limitation and high risk of death. Among the various forms of assess exercise capacity, Walk Test Six Minutes (6MWT), Shuttle walking test and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test are among the most applicable. Little has been studied about the patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to congenital heart disease and Eisenmenger Syndrome. The characterization of this profile of patients against the effort becomes necessary and useful in determining strategies and identification of factors that may be limited to functional capacity and quality of life. Objectives: To verify the applicability Six minutes walk test and Shuttle walk test in assessing functional capacity in patients with Eisenmenger Syndrome. Methods: Cross-sectional study with patients diagnosed with Eisenmenger Syndrome, of both sexes, without changing pace or lower limbs, who have performed echocardiography in the last 6 months and clinical stability. Patients will undergo three functional tests, being the six-minute walk test, shuttle walk test and cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer, associated with evaluation of metabolic and ventilatory variables and cardiac monitoring throughout the test. Also will be held assess respiratory endurance and strength, peripheral muscle strength and manual pinch, Heart rate variability, inflammatory mediators and blood lactate, besides questionnaires about quality of life, quality of sleep and daytime drowsiness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Six minute walk test to measure functional capacity in eisenmenger syndrome

    Six minute walk test will be done with metabolic and ventilatory monitoring and Compared to the cardiopulmonary exercise testing variables , seeing your similarity and if this first test is applicable to measurement functional capacity in Eisenmenger syndrome

    Measured: One day

  2. Shuttle walk test to measure functional capacity in Eisenmenger syndrome

    Shuttle walk test will be done with metabolic and ventilatory monitoring and Compared to the cardiopulmonary exercise testing variables , seeing your similarity and if this first test is applicable to measurement functional capacity in Eisenmenger syndrome

    Measured: One day

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Oxygen uptake kinetics during six minute walk test in Eisenmenger syndrome

    Six minute walk test will be done with metabolic and ventilatory monitoring and we will go evaluate behavior of oxygen uptake kinetics in Eisenmenger Syndrome

    Measured: one day

  2. Correlation between Functional capacity evaluate with six minute walk test and respiratory function evaluate with manovacuometry, spirometry and muscular respiratory endurance.

    Measured: one day

  3. Correlation between Functional capacity evaluate with six minute walk test and peripheric muscular function, evaluate with quadriceps dynamometry and strength of handgrip

    Measured: one day

  4. Correlation between Functional capacity evaluate with six minute walk test and autonomic function, evaluate with cardiofrequency

    Measured: one day

  5. Correlation between Functional capacity evaluate with six minute walk test and life quality evaluate with SF-36 health survey questionnaire

    Measured: one day

  6. Correlation between Functional capacity evaluate with six minute walk test and sleep quality, evaluate with pittsburgh questionnaire for sleep and Epworth Sleepiness Scale

    Measured: one day

  7. Correlation between Functional capacity evaluate with six minute walk test and blood inflammatory mediators and blood lactate

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Eisenmenger Complex and Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Federal University of São Paulo 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2016. 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 Bruna CM Garcia, principal (+5512 981254979, brunacaroline_fisio@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Six minute walk test to measure functional capacity in eisenmenger syndrome (time frame: One day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Apr 2016.
