Autonomic nerve health and heart risks in diabetes with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how damage to the nerves that control your heart (autonomic neuropathy) might affect your risk of heart problems and other health issues if you have diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. It may help doctors understand who needs extra monitoring or treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart disease, confirmed by a test showing a blocked heart artery (at least 50% narrowing).
- You have diabetes, diagnosed by a blood test (fasting glucose 7 or higher, or A1c 6.5% or higher).
- You have sleep apnea, meaning you stop breathing or breathe shallowly at least 5 times per hour during sleep (an AHI of 5 or more).
- You have not had a pacemaker implanted, a heart attack, or a stroke in the last 3 months.
- You are not pregnant, do not have serious organ disease (like kidney or liver failure), and do not have thyroid problems.
- You are not taking specific heart or asthma medications (like beta-blockers or beta-agonists) within 48 hours before the tests.

This study looks at how genes, proteins, and other molecules in the body relate to heart and blood vessel problems in people with diabetes. By analyzing samples from patients who have had coronary angiography, researchers hope to find new ways to prevent or treat these complications.
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 sleep apnea affects blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand if treating sleep apnea improves diabetes management.
This study checks how stopping CPAP treatment for a short time affects glucose levels in people with sleep apnea who do not have diabetes. It may help find out if sleep apnea is linked to blood sugar problems.
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 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.
