Sleep apnea and small heart vessel health
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled to have a heart catheterization (a procedure to check the blood flow to your heart).
- You agree to stay overnight for a sleep study to measure your breathing and oxygen levels.
- You do not have severe heart failure, certain heart muscle diseases, or a history of heart bypass surgery.
- You do not have central sleep apnea (a condition where the brain doesn't signal breathing properly).
- You do not have severe liver or kidney failure, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 how heart problems and sleep apnea might affect the brain. It aims to understand the link between these conditions to improve care.
This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) affects people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina. It aims to create a tool to predict outcomes, which could help guide your treatment.
This study looks at how well people with heart disease or high heart risk follow their sleep apnea treatment, comparing a mouth device (MAD) to a CPAP machine. It aims to find which treatment works better for daily use.
This trial looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA, a breathing problem during sleep) relates to heart outcomes in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). It may help doctors better predict risk and choose safer care for people who are high cardiovascular risk.
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.
