About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Commercially Available Heart Rate Monitors in Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients: A Prospective, Randomized Study

The objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of four heart rate monitors in cardiac rehabilitation patients during typical, supervised cardiac rehabilitation involving exercise on a treadmill and/or stationary bicycle.

Read the detailed description

This study will assess the accuracy of four of the best-selling optical heart rate monitors when worn by cardiac rehabilitation patients.

During testing, each subject will wear:

  1. Two different optical heart rate monitors (one on each wrist)
  2. A Polar chest-strap based monitor
  3. ECG leads

The types of wrist-worn heart rate monitors assigned to each subject will be randomly assigned.

The location (left or right wrist) will also be randomly assigned.

Heart rate will be assessed using each of the 4 monitors with the subject on the exercise machines under each of the following conditions:

  1. Pre-exercise
  2. Treadmill: at 3, 5 and 7 min.
  3. Stationary Cycle: at 3, 5 and 7 min.
Being tested
Fit Bit Blaze, Garmin Forerunner 235, Tom Tom Spark Cardio, Apple Watch

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart Rate Monitor Accuracy Compared to ECG

    The primary outcome measure is the accuracy of each heart rate monitor compared to ECG. This will be expressed by the correlation coefficient.

    Measured: 16 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fit Bit Blaze, Garmin Forerunner 235 and Tom Tom Spark Cardio in people with Cardiac Rehabilitation, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 19 Oct 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Heart Rate Monitor Accuracy Compared to ECG (time frame: 16 minutes). 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 NCT03182439, 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 19 Oct 2017.
