Hypoglycaemia and Cardiac Arrhythmias in Type 2 Diabetes (HYPO-HEART) 42 Observational

Completed
Clinical Trial NCT03150030 (HYPO-HEART) was an observational study for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Arrhythmia, Cardiac that is now completed. The study started on February 1, 2017, with plans to enroll 42 participants. Led by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen, the expected completion date was January 6, 2020. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on November 2, 2020.
Brief Summary
Twenty-one patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes with diabetic complications will be recruited to Part 1 of the study, a three-hour combined hyper- and hypoglycaemic clamp, along with a control group of twenty-one individuals with normal glucose tolerance matched for age, gender, and body mass index. Patients with type 2 diabetes will be scheduled for a three-week run-in period with LR and CGM prior to partic...Show More

Patients with type 2 diabetes
Insulin-treated type 2 diabetes with diabetic complications
Combined hyper- and hypoglycaemic clamp
During the entire clamp, participants will be monitored by ECG, pulse oximetry, and blood pressure and plasma glucose will be measured bedside every fifth minute. Additionally, patients with type 2 diabetes will be monitored by a loop recorder (LR) and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Comparison of LR and CGM recordings with the recordings obtained by ECG Holter monitor and blood sampling will be used for validati...Show More

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Part 1: Clinically relevant arrhythmias
Composite endpoint including atrial fibrillation, brady-arrhythmias and tachy-arrhythmias. Clinically relevant brady-arrhythmias are defined as sinus arrest for more than 3 seconds, frequency below 30 beats per minute (bpm), or high grade atrioventricular (AV) block including Mobitz Type II and third-degree AV block. Clinically relevant tachy-arrhythmias are defined as sustained ventricular tachycardia (duration \>30 seconds), and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia.
