About this study

Diabetes Mellitus type 1 is characterized by an absolute insulin deficiency caused by T-cell-mediated autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells . It is the predominant form of diabetes mellitus during childhood and adolescence. Hyperglycemia is a major cause of vascular and neuropathic complications that are seen in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular risk factors remain the most controversial chronic complication in diabetes mellitus type 1 Neuropathy in diabetes mellitus type 1 can lead to abnormalities in the response of the coronary vasculature to sympathetic stimulation, which may manifest clinically as resting tachycardia or bradycardia, exercise intolerance, orthostatic hypotension, loss of the nocturnal decline in blood pressure, or silent myocardial ischemia on cardiac testing. These abnormalities can lead to delayed presentation of cardiovascular disease. An early indicator of cardiac autonomic neuropathy is reduced heart rate variability, which can be assessed qualitatively in the clinic. Limited data suggest silent myocardial ischemia is more common in the presence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy . Cardiovascular mortality is a leading cause of death in Type 1 diabetic patients, in particular in patients with nephropathy.QT dispersion defined as the difference between maximal and minimal QT intervals from different electrocardiogram leads ( the QT interval was defined as the time between the first deflection from the isoelectric PR interval and the visual return of the T wave to the T-P segment ) ,Because these electrocardiogram abnormalities may confer an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death , early identification may have prognostic value .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Assiut University.

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 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 29 Aug 2017. 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 Mohamed Amir, MD (01005689353, Dr.amir63@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

corrected QT dispersion (time frame: one day). 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 29 Aug 2017.
