About this study

The Veterans Administration Patient Study examined the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with large vessel PAD or isolated small vessel PAD. The Community Follow-up Study following subjects with and without PAD from a previous cohort to determine subsequent coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Peripheral arterial disease is a common condition, particularly in the elderly, but is the least frequently studied and the least well understood of the major atherosclerotic diseases.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

Veterans Administration Patient Study: The progression of PAD was followed in patients diagnosed at the San Diego VA Medical Center from July 1984 to June 1989. Four non-invasive tests used in the initial diagnosis were repeated after a five year interval. The tests included segmental blood pressure flow velocity by Doppler ultrasound, post-occlusive reactive hyperemia, and pulse reappearance time. Risk factors examined for related to PAD included cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, lipids and lipoproteins, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, diabetes history, immunoglobulin E, and creatinine. The degree of concordance between PAD and carotid disease was evaluated using phonoangiography.

Community Follow-up Study: The study was conducted in a cohort first examined for PAD in 1978-1981 and followed for morbidity and mortality.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atherosclerosis and Coronary Disease, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005254, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Feb 2016.
