Heart and brain connection in heart and sleep disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how heart problems and sleep apnea might affect the brain. It aims to understand the link between these conditions to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
This study looks at whether sleep apnea (a condition where you stop breathing during sleep) might be linked to problems in the tiny blood vessels of the heart. By doing a sleep study and a heart scan, we hope to find ways to better diagnose and treat these heart issues.
This study looks at how sleep issues (like trouble sleeping or feeling very sleepy during the day) might be related to heart conditions. If you see a heart doctor, you can help by filling out a simple questionnaire about your sleep.
This study uses advanced health data to predict how heart and brain conditions may progress. It aims to help doctors provide better care for people with these diseases.
This study looks at how sleep problems and changes in the body's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) affect older adults with heart conditions. It may help find better ways to manage sleep and improve heart health.
This trial uses a specialized brain scan (MRI) to study people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using CPAP. It also compares them with people who do not have sleep apnea to understand how brain function differs.
