Trial summary

The investigators are trying to find out how common sleep apnea is in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The purpose of this study is to see if sleep apnea is common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and if its presence is associated with changes in the functioning of the body. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prevalence and Incidence Study Investigating the Burden of Atrial and Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Sleep Apnea.

The investigators are trying to find out how common sleep apnea is in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The purpose of this study is to see if sleep apnea is common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and if its presence is associated with changes in the functioning of the body. The investigators want to determine if sleep apnea is associated with electrical disorders of the heart in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be healthy volunteers or subjects with the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). All patients will a undergo a one time; medical history, physical examination, questionnaires, sleep observation in hospital, blood and urine samples, ultrasound scan of the heart, paced breathing test, ultrasound of brachial artery in the arm, MRI of the heart \& 48 hour ECG Holter monitoring. Comparison between the normal volunteers and subjects with HCM will be made.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

    Measured by the Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). The AHI is the number of apneas or hypopneas recorded during the study per hour of sleep. It is generally expressed as the number of events per hour. Based on the AHI, sleep apnea is diagnosed if an AHI ≥5 events/hour.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years.

  2. Determine the severity of Sleep Apnea.

    The severity of OSA is classified based on the AHI as follows: None/Minimal: AHI < 5 per hour, Mild: AHI ≥ 5, but < 15 per hour, Moderate: AHI ≥ 15, but < 30 per hour, Severe: AHI ≥ 30 per hour.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years.

  3. Differences in Autonomic Regulation.

    In persons with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and sleep apnea vs. those without sleep apnea.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years.

  4. Prevalence of atrial arrhythmias.

    Investigators will determine prevalence of atrial arrhythmias, based on prior ECG documented atrial arrhythmias at any timepoint prior to enrolment and up to 4 weeks after the study date. Participants will also have a 48h ECG (extended Holter) recorder attached to screen for atrial arrhythmias.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years.

  5. Incidence of atrial arrhythmias.

    Measured: Approximately 5 years.

  6. Frequency of ventricular arrhythmias.

    Investigators will prospectively follow patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to determine the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias in those with vs those without sleep apnea.

    Measured: Approximately 5 years.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Identify novel biomarkers

    Participants will be prospectively followed and blood collected to identify biomarkers of arrhythmia, heart failure and prognosis in persons with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

    Measured: Approximately 5 years

  2. Investigate the association of sleep apnea with atrial and ventricular fibrosis

    Participants will undergo baseline MRI studies of the heart to determine the burden of fibrosis and its association with sleep apnea. Participants may be invited to complete a follow-up study to track changes in fibrosis.

    Measured: Approximately 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 26 Mar 2025. 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 United States. 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?

Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). (time frame: Approximately 2 years.). The study lists 6 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 26 Mar 2025.
