About this study

Official title: Seven-day Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and CAVI in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases

Specify the risk rate of incorrect patient classification based on night-to-day ratio specification from singular 24-h ABPM in comparison to the results of 7-day ABPM monitoring

Read the detailed description

The subjects in the study are divided into 4 groups:

group 1 (40 healthy men and women without exercise); group 2 (40 healthy exercise-training men and women); group 3 (40 patients with ischemic coronary artery disease without exercise); and group 4 (51 patients with ischemic coronary artery disease following cardiovascular rehabilitation).

The subject of the evaluation is the percentage rate of incorrect subject classification (dipper, non-dipper, extreme dipper, and risers) based on the mean blood pressure values for 7 days and from seven independent 24-hour cycles (the mean value mode).

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ambulatory blood pressure monitoringOther

    The ambulatory monitoring (7-day ABPM) was performed with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring devices TM-2430 (A\&D; Tokyo, Japan) based on both the cuff-oscillometric and Korotkoff sound method. The cuff was placed on the non-dominant arm according to the same rules applying to casual auscultation measurement. The monitoring device with a weight of 250 g was worn by the monitored subjects in a waist-fixed case continuously for 7 days except for times involving personal hygiene. During every automatic measurement, the arm was resting and hung along the body. The device automatically recorded all the regular measurements for seven days, between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. every 30 minutes and between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. every 60 minutes. Such short intervals are necessary to obtain a sufficient number of representative measurements.

  • Combined aerobic-resistance exerciseOther

    Combined aerobic-resistance exercise (group 2) was scheduled twice weekly in the form of 60-minute workouts with a load intensity at the level of sub-maximum heart frequency (75-85% SFmax). The minimum time span between the workouts was 24 hours. The workout consisted of a 10-minute warm-up, 25 minutes of aerobic exercise (spinning bicycle or bicycle ergometer), 15 minutes of resistance exercise on gym machines (bench press, leg extension and pull down) with 40-50% 1-RM (one repetition maximum) intensity (3 series of 10 exercises), and a 10-minute cool-down (stretching of the main muscle groups).

  • The cardiovascular exerciseOther

    The cardiovascular exercise (group 4) took the form of sixty-minute workouts scheduled two to three times weekly. The nature of the workouts was similar, combined aerobic-resistance exercise (a 10-minute warm-up, aerobic endurance on bicycle ergo meter for 25 minutes, resistance exercise on multifunctional gym machines for 15 minutes, and a 10-minute cool-down). The workout intensity was set at the level of the first ventilation threshold (VAT-1), corresponding to the following workout parameters: load (W) and heart rate (HR).19,20 The resistance exercise intensity was specified by the 1-RM (one repetition maximum) method. The maximum load lifted across the full range of motion for every exercise was used as the benchmark for the workload intensity specification, corresponding to 30 - 60% 1-RM.

What is being measured

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

  1. The risk rate of incorrect patient classification based on night-to-day ratio specification from singular 24-h ABPM in comparison to the results of 7-day ABPM monitoring.

    Primary outcome was to specify the risk rate of incorrect patient classification based on night-to-day ratio specification from singular 24-h ABPM in comparison to the results of 7-day ABPM monitoring.

    The percentage of blood pressure drop at night expressed by night-to-day ratio (dippers, non-dippers, extreme dippers, reverse dippers) can be specified much more accurately on the basis of 7-day ABPM values. ABPM restricted to 24 h, as currently practiced, does not yield a sufficiently reliable estimate of the night-to-day ratio for a classification in terms of dipping. Extending monitoring to 7 days accounts for the large day-to-day variability in the night-to-day ratio, and may yield a more reliable diagnosis of blood pressure variability.

    Measured: 1 - 7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Optimalization of the blood pressure diagnostic through comparing of 24 hours and 7 days monitoring.

    On the basis of the obtained results, the following procedure can be recommended for clinical practice. If the standard 24-hour monitoring is used, then obtain at least 3 mutually independent 24-hour cycle data for every examined individual. If at least two of them result in the same night-to-day ratio and the third night-to-day ratio is only slightly different, the thus obtained index can be considered trustworthy. Otherwise, the correct night-to-day ratio can only be obtained by 7-day ABPM and, in addition, the resulting night-to-day ratio calculated from the mean values obtained in the course of the 7 days must be compared to the result modes obtained for the individual monitoring days.

    The magnitude of the difference between the evaluation of 24-hour and 7-days blood pressure records was not dependent on the gender, age, health, or cardiovascular disease or physical activity of monitored individuals.

    Measured: 1 - 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, Combined aerobic-resistance exercise and The cardiovascular exercise in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by St. Anne's University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 3 Mar 2022. 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 Czechia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The risk rate of incorrect patient classification based on night-to-day ratio specification from singular 24-h ABPM in comparison to the results of 7-day ABPM monitoring. (time frame: 1 - 7 days). 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 3 Mar 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
