About this study

Official title: Study of Cognitive Function Before and After Coronary Angiography

The purpose of the study is to study if coronary angiography cause cognitive dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

We have previously shown, using transcranial doppler, that coronary angiography cause cerebral microembolism. Cerebral microemboli were more common using the radial than femoral approach. Previously, cerebral microembolism has been associated with new cerebral lesions on MRI. The clinical significance of these new lesions is not determined. The primary aim of this pilot study is to see if coronary angiography cause cognitive dysfunction determined by the MoCA-test. A secondary aim is to relate cognitive dysfunction to cerebral microembolism measured by transcranial doppler. A third aim is to study potential differences between the femoral and radial approaches.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in cognitive dysfunction from baseline to two days after coronary angiography

    The Montreal Cognitive Assesment test will be performed before, 2 and 30 days after coronary angiography

    Measured: Baseline and two days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patients with cerebral microemboli

    Cerebral microembolism will be studied by transcraniell doppler at the time of angiography. Findings will be related to change in cognitive function between baseline and two days.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease and Heart Valve Diseases, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 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 24 Feb 2016. 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 Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in cognitive dysfunction from baseline to two days after coronary angiography (time frame: Baseline and two days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01428947, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Feb 2016.
