About this study

Official title: Heart Function in Patients Assessed for Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB)

This study aims to determine the prevalence and prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection function (HFpEF) among patients being assessed for sleep disordered breathing (SDB).

Read the detailed description

Patients with sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and those with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) share similar characteristics. Increasing age, hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation are well recognised links in both groups. It also known that SDB is common in patients with heart failure, both with reduced and preserved ejection fraction. It is therefore hypothesised that among patients being referred for SDB assessment, we can identify a group with unrecognised HFpEF.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Unrecognised Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) in Cohort With Clinically Suspected Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB)

    The diagnosis of HFpEF was established using criteria set out in the European Society for Cardiology (ESC) guidelines based on clinical symptoms and/or signs, biomarker analysis (NT-proBNP) and evidence of structural cardiac remodeling or diastolic dysfunction on transthoracic echocardiography.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Sleep Disordered Breathing, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 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 17 Feb 2021. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Feb 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Unrecognised Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) in Cohort With Clinically Suspected Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) (time frame: Baseline). 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 17 Feb 2021.
