Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: From April 2015 up to July 2020, data from CVD (risk) patients (e.g. obesity, diabetes, coronary artery disease or heart failure) were collected from Jessa hospital, Hasselt, Belgium, and Hasselt university, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Hasselt, Belgium, in light of research studies. All participants signed an informed consent (approved by the ethical committees of Jessa hospital Hasselt and/or Hasselt University) explaining the nature and risks of CPET, and allowing us to use anonymized data for the analyses of their CPET at entry of CR or an exercise intervention

Who may be able to join

  • CVD patients (eg obesity, diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure)

Who cannot join

  • No present CVD

About this study

Official title: Validation of an Algorithm to Predict the Ventilatory Threshold for Exercise Intensity Prescription in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease

The aim of the current study was to develop an algorithm which has the ability to accurately predict the first and second ventilatory threshold and in cardiovascular disease patients and to guide in proper exercise intensity determination. This would then help, at least in part, to overcome the lack of access to metabolic carts or cardiopulmonary exercise test, and/or methodological difficulties with ventilatory threshold determination in these patients.

Design

This study is composed out of two sub studies: 1. Generation/creation of VT prediction algorithm, and 2. Validation of this algorithm in independent laboratories.

Sub study 1: Generation/creation of VT prediction algorithm

From April 2015 up to July 2020, data from CVD (risk) patients (e.g. obesity, diabetes, coronary artery disease or heart failure) were collected from in light of research studies. All participants signed an informed consent explaining the nature and risks of CPET, and allowing us to use anonymized data for the analyses of their CPET at entry of cardiovascular rehabilitation or an exercise intervention. These data have been published in previous publications.

Sub study 2: Validation of the algorithm in independent laboratories

From April 2015 up to July 2020, data from CVD (risk) patients (e.g. obesity, diabetes, coronary artery disease or heart failure) were collected in light of research studies. All participants signed an informed consent (approved by the ethics committees of the local hospitals or research laboratories) explaining the nature and risks of CPET, and allowing us to use anonymized data for the analyses of their CPET at entry of CR or an exercise intervention. These data have been published in previous publications

    Measured: Baseline - day 1

  4. Oxygen uptake during cardiopulmonary exercise testing

    Maximal oxygen uptake (ml/kg/min)

    Measured: Baseline - day 1

  5. Heart rate in rest during cardiopulmonary exercise testing

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Smoking

    Presence of smoking by questionnaire (yes/no)

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Medication intake

    Information regarding medication intake will be retrospectively extracted by personal communication with the subject

    Measured: Baseline

  7. Cardiovascular surgery

    Information regarding cardiovascular surgery will be extracted by personal communication with the subject

    Measured: Baseline

  8. Age in years

    Age in years will be retrospectively extracted from the databank

    Measured: Baseline

  9. Gender (m/f)

  12. BMI (kg/m^2)

    Weight (in kg) and height (in m) will be combined to assess BMI (in kg/m^2)

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Hasselt University at 1 site in Belgium.

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 18 Jun 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 Belgium. 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?

Duration during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (time frame: Baseline - day 1). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Jun 2021.
