Trial summary

High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is in the centrum of the process of reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral cells to the liver[10]. HDL-C promotes endothelial generation of nitric oxide (NO) and improves endothelial function and arterial vasoreactivity[11]. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 47 to 58 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: CSX was defined as typical chest pain during rest or effort, abnormal test result for exercise ECG and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, and the presence of angiographically normal epicardial coronary arteries. Control group was selected from volunteers presented to our hospital with the complaint of typical anginal chest pain who had no ischemia on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy or during the treadmill exercise test, had similar risk profile with the patients (diabetes, hypertension, age, gender) and had normal epicardial coronaries at coronary angiography.

Who may be able to join

  • Must be able to get exercise stress test
  • Must be able to have coronary angiography
  • Clinical diagnosis of typical anginaduring rest or effort
  • Abnormal test result for exercise ECG or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
  • Must have of angiographically normal epicardial coronary arteries

Who cannot join

  • Patients with valvular heart disease (mitral stenosis and moderate to severe mitral regurgitation
  • Patients with moderate to severe aortic stenosis and regurgitation including mitral annular calcification)
  • Patients with heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction <50%)
  • Patients with congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, left ventricular hypertrophy, right ventricular hypertrophy

About this study

Official title: HDL-Cholesterol is Inversely Related With Inflammation in Cardiac Syndrome X

High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is in the centrum of the process of reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral cells to the liver[10]. HDL-C promotes endothelial generation of nitric oxide (NO) and improves endothelial function and arterial vasoreactivity[11]. In several studies, lower HDL-C level was reported to be associated with increased coronary artery disease (CAD) risk[12-14]. HDL-C also has anti- inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities[15,16]. Concerning anti-inflammatory activity, HDL-C inhibits the activation of monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils[17,18] and inhibits the expression of endothelial adhesion molecules, such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and E-selectin[15].

In this study we aimed to investigate the relation of HDL-C level with systemic inflammatory markers in patients with cardiac syndrome X (CSX).

What is being measured

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

  1. HDL-Cholesterol

    HDL-Cholesterol <40 mg/dL(male) / < 50mg/dL(female) ==> low HDL-C

    Measured: 6 MONTHS

  2. Cardiac Syndrome X

    Patients who have typical anginal chest pain+ischaemic findings at exercise stress test/myocardial scintigraphy + normal epicardial coronaries at coronary angiography ==> Cardiac syndrome X

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Inflammation

    CRP > 2,98 mg/dL ==> systemic inflammation

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Heart Diseases, run by Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 26 Mar 2014. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HDL-Cholesterol (time frame: 6 MONTHS). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Mar 2014.
