About this study

Official title: Longitudinal Cohort Study of Dallas County Residents to Identify Novel Determinants of Atherosclerotic Heart Disease: The DHS 2

The Dallas Heart Study (DHS-1) is a large, multi-ethnic, population-based epidemiological study designed to identify determinants of atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD) in a representative United States (US) urban environment. This study completed enrollment in 2003.

Our objective is to pinpoint factors contributing to progression:

  1. from health to ASHD risk;
  2. from ASHD risk to subclinical ASHD; and
  3. from subclinical to clinical ASHD.

Identification of the critical factors in these transitions will enable targeted implementation of appropriate therapy to interdict before clinical ASHD develops.

Read the detailed description

Early medical intervention in asymptomatic individuals at risk is the most effective strategy to combat atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD). The major roadblock to effective ASHD prevention is that conventional tools to assess ASHD risk are inadequate and new methods are needed to identify susceptible individuals before the disease process is established. Other successful public-health screening programs have incorporated direct imaging procedures (e.g. mammography, colonoscopy); yet in ASHD, direct imaging of the vasculature has not been incorporated into the risk stratification algorithms.

The Dallas Heart Study (DHS-1) is a large, multi-ethnic, population-based epidemiological study designed to identify determinants of ASHD in a representative US urban environment. This study completed enrollment in 2003.

In DHS-2 we will transform the Dallas Heart Study from a cross-sectional health survey (DHS-1) into a longitudinal cohort study (DHS-2). We will perform state-of-the-art cardiovascular (CV) imaging coupled to biomarkers, genetic markers and classical ASHD risk factors. We will repeat the detailed clinical phenotyping performed between 2000-2003 to capture interval changes in ASHD risk and disease burden. Our objective is to pinpoint factors contributing to progression:

  1. from health to ASHD risk;
  2. from ASHD risk to subclinical ASHD; and
  3. from subclinical to clinical ASHD.

Identification of the critical factors in these transitions will enable targeted implementation of appropriate therapy to interdict before clinical ASHD develops.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atherosclerosis and Congestive Heart Failure, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 8 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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 NCT00344903, which also lists 5 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 8 Jul 2010.
