Sleep Apnea and Heart Attack Study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) affects people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina. It aims to understand the link between these conditions and build a better way to predict health outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a comprehensive care plan for people with sleep disordered breathing. It aims to see if better care can improve your health and quality of life.
This study is for people who may have sleep-related breathing problems (like sleep apnea). It looks at how these issues connect with other health conditions. Participants will do a one-night sleep test and some simple health checks at Xiangya Hospital.
This study looks at how sleep-related breathing problems after a stroke or mini-stroke affect your mood, thinking, and recovery. It will help doctors understand if treating sleep issues early can improve your long-term outcome.
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 low oxygen levels during sleep (from obstructive sleep apnea) are linked to problems in the tiny blood vessels of the heart. If you are already scheduled for a heart test called a coronary angiogram, you may be able to join and help understand this connection.
This trial looks at sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in people soon after a first stroke or a TIA, to see if it can be linked to new cardiovascular (heart/blood vessel) events. It also aims to make sure you can safely follow the study and rehabilitation plan.
