About this study

Official title: Atrial and Ventricular Wall Stress, Effects of Breathing and Airway Pressure

Healthy reclining adult volunteers, with Valsalva manoeuver, Muller manoeuver, light continuous positive airway pressure by mask, passive leg raising, and maximal hand-grip. Ultrasound heart images captured before and during.

Read the detailed description

With focus on atrial wall strain and strain-rate, In healthy volunteer adult subjects, heart ultrasound is recorded during resting, Valsalva manoeuver, Muller manoeuver, passive leg raising, and handgrip. Echocardiographic recordings are made before and during each intervention. Participants are otherwise resting in a reclined position.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single arm, breathing manueversExperimentalAll subjects perform/undergo Valsalva, Muller, CPAP, hand grip, and passive leg raise, with ultrasound examination of heart recorded before and during the manoeuvre.
Receives: Other: Simple breathing manuevers during brief echocardiographic imaging

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in atrial wall stress during breathing manoeuver, compared to control measurement immediately before the breathing manoeuver

    Echocardiographic measure, comparing control measurement to measurement during breathing manoeuver

    Measured: 30 seconds, i.e. control measurement and then measurement during breathing manoeuver observed from same breathing/measurement sequence

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Simple breathing manuevers during brief echocardiographic imaging in people with Healthy, run by Umeå University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 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 22 Apr 2019. 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 Sweden. 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?

Change in atrial wall stress during breathing manoeuver, compared to control measurement immediately before the breathing manoeuver (time frame: 30 seconds, i.e. control measurement and then measurement during breathing manoeuver observed from same breathing/measurement sequence). 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 NCT03436030, 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 22 Apr 2019.
