Sleep apnea and heart attack outcome study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You must have a recent heart condition called acute coronary syndrome (ACS), such as a heart attack or unstable angina.
- You must NOT have very severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) or have been revived from cardiac arrest.
- You must NOT have central sleep apnea (a type of sleep apnea where the brain doesn't trigger breathing) — only obstructive sleep apnea is allowed.
- You must NOT have ever used a CPAP machine (a breathing aid for sleep apnea) previously or currently.
- You must be able to undergo a sleep study (polysomnography) that gives valid results, and not have a life expectancy under 1 year.

This study tests a comprehensive care program for people with sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea). It aims to see if this program improves sleep and overall health.
This study looks at breathing problems during sleep that can happen right after a stroke, and how these may affect mood, thinking, and other brain-related outcomes. If you’ve recently had a stroke or TIA, participating could help doctors understand and improve recovery.
This study looks at how sleep-disordered breathing (abnormal breathing during sleep) affects the long-term health of people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the lungs. By participating, you will have a sleep study and be followed over time to see how your breathing during sleep relates to your PAH outcomes.
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 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.
