What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between left ventricular ejection fraction and peak oxygen uptake on inspiratory muscle strength as assessed by echocardiography, ergospirometer and mouth pressure maneuver, respectively

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation between left ventricular ejection fraction and peak oxygen uptake on chest wall volumes as assessed by echocardiography, ergospirometer and opto-electronic plethysmography, respectively

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

  2. Correlation between left ventricular ejection fraction and peak oxygen uptake on quality of life as assessed by echocardiography, ergospirometer and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, respectively

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco.

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 7 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 5 May 2016. 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.

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 Peterson Filipe Pinheiro de Lima, Graduated (+5581998186292, pinheirofilipe@live.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between left ventricular ejection fraction and peak oxygen uptake on inspiratory muscle strength as assessed by echocardiography, ergospirometer and mouth pressure maneuver, respectively (time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months). 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 NCT02763982, which also lists 4 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 5 May 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
