About this study

Official title: Early Vascular Disease Detection System for High Risk Patients in Beijing

Arteriosclerotic vascular-related diseases have become a serious threat to human health. The prevention and reversal of vascular events has become an important direction of medicine. Early vascular disease detection system includes pulse wave velocity (PWV), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR), flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), ankle-brachial index (ABI), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), hypersensitivity C- reactive protein (hs-CRP), plasma homocysteine (Hcy), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), uric acid (UA), and so on. However, there is no international and domestic comprehensive study on simple and practical evaluation system by jointing application of these evaluation indexes to detect vascular disease. Combined evaluation function can simultaneously detect and evaluate vascular abnormalities, make up a single indicator shortcoming in clinical applications from multiple levels of vascular structure and function. However, all indicators testing not only cause time consuming, but also increase the burden on patients, resulting unnecessary waste of medical resources. Thus, the present study was to select appropriate indicators and effective joint, and establish the rating system, using the vascular system to predict the incidence of terminal events, and compare this system with the previous scoring system such as FRS (Framingham Risk Score) pros and cons.

Read the detailed description

This study aimed to establish vascular disease early detection system and scoring systems by comprehensive vascular disease risk factors and vascular function evaluation index. And prevention of vascular-related diseases, high-risk groups through positive lifestyle changes: such as lipid-lowering, smoking cessation, reversing early vascular lesions, to avoid end-stage vascular events.

  1. Detection of vascular function indicators include: PWV, IMT, CFVR, FMD, CAVI, ABI, LDL-C, HOMA-IR, hs-CRP, Hcy, BNP, UA and so on.
  2. Design the questionnaire: surveying the lifestyle, personal history, family history of the study population.
  3. Follow-up:2 years of observation, recording the end time of vascular events, including cardiovascular events (acute myocardial infarction, angina, coronary reperfusion therapy), stroke, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease.
  4. Statistics: Complex the factors of vascular disease, screen for an effective indicator to predict cardiovascular events, and based on the weight of the different factors, the establish the rating system, use the system to predict the incidence of vascular events terminal, and compare the system with the previous scoring system such as FRS (Framingham Risk Score).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vascular Disease, run by Peking University Shougang 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 10 May 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of vascular diseases-related death (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 NCT02569268, which also lists 13 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 10 May 2016.
