New Heart Tests in Sleep Apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe sleep apnea (AHI 15 or higher) from a recent sleep study at Antwerp University Hospital.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You speak Dutch.
- You are a candidate for sleep apnea treatment (CPAP, mouthpiece, or nerve stimulator).
- You have not used CPAP effectively in the last 6 months, and have never used a mouthpiece (MAD) for sleep apnea.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
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 study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects blood pressure and thinking skills. It compares people who use CPAP, people who don't, and people without sleep apnea.
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 is comparing two alternative treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea in people who cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. The treatments are a custom-fitted dental device and a nerve stimulation implant, and the study will see how well they work.
