Abstract

Objectives:

Primary: To study the association between central aortic blood pressure indices and coronary artery disease in patients undergoing elective angiography. Secondary: (a) To study whether any association exists between central aortic pressure indices and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in the same patients during a 6 month follow up period. (b) To study whether any association exists between the central aortic pressures and peripheral pressures.

Methods: The investigators conducted a prospective observational study in consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography. Central and peripheral pressures were invasively recorded and coronary artery disease (CAD) classified into obstructive and non-obstructive group. CAD severity was graded using the Gensini score and subjects were divided into tertiles. Patients were followed up and the role of central aortic pressure indices in the prediction of cardiovascular events were analysed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Government Medical College, Kozhikode.

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 2 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 17 Jun 2015. 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?

acute coronary syndrome(ACS) (time frame: 6 MONTHS). The study lists 4 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 17 Jun 2015.
