Trial Review

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Target follow-up type
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
a) Lung function test and cardiopulmonary exercise testing will be performed on the same day. Typically, lung function tests will be performed before exercise testing
b) Testing will be performed once at patients inclusion. Duration of lung function evaluation is 45 min and duration of cardiopulmonary exercise testing is 60 min.
c) Doctors (cardiologists) will be involved in lung function test and cardiopulmonary exercise testing as well.
d) Lung function test includes spirometry and lung plethysmography. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing includes measures of ventilation and respiratory gas parameters during cycling exercise. Measuring systems relies on breath-by-breath analysis techniques. Oxygen and carbon dioxide gas analyzers are usually incorporated in a “metabolic cart” designed specifically for functional testing. Respiratory volumes are computed by integrating the air flow signals over the time of inspiration and expiration. Average minute volumes are derived from the breath-by-breath data multiplied by the respiratory rate

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321174 0
Heart rate will be calculated by measuring real-time RR interval (milliseconds) averaged over a 10-second period by using a real time ECG monitor. Oxygen uptake (VO2) will be measured by using a metabolic card. Oxygen gas analyzer are incorporated in a “metabolic cart” designed specifically for functional testing.

A slope less than 0.8 indicates actual chronotropic incompetence.Regression line between heart rate and VO2 will be calculated offline.

Chronotropic incompetence will be ascertained by calculating the slope of the relationship between Heart rate and oxygen uptake (VO2) during exercise.

the day of functional testing
Secondary outcome [1] 374199 0
Post exercise heart rate recovery : Immediately after exercise cessation, participants will undergo a 3-min cool-down period. Heart rate recovery is defined as the difference between the highest observed HR (peak HR) during the graded exercise test and the heart rate after exactly 1 min and 3 min of active recovery (1-min HRR, 3-min HRR).

Heart rate will be calculated by measuring RR interval (milliseconds) averaged over a 10-second period by using a real-time ECG monitor.
