About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Relationship Between Age and Serum Paraoxonase /Arylesterase Activity of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Presenting to the Emergency Department''

Myocardial infarction is a polygenic disease that may occur due to various environmental risk factors. Mortality risk of the disease; sex, age, smoking, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein levels. The paraoxonase-1 phenotype is expressed as the paraoxonase/arylesterase ratio and is closely related to high-density lipoprotein, acting as an endogenous defense mechanism against vascular oxidative stress, thus contributing to the prevention of atherosclerosis. Serum concentration and activity depend on environmental factors as well as genetic polymorphism. This decrease in enzyme concentration causes changes in gene expression (1). Numerous data on Paraoxonase-1 levels have been found in studies, especially with decreasing serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities with age, associated with increased risk of systemic oxidative stress and atherosclerosis in humans. Many studies have shown that serum Paraoxonase-1 activity is significantly reduced in people with myocardial infarction, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and chronic kidney disease. The most important risk factor for these and similar diseases is aging. Diversity of conditions such as genetic predisposition, malnutrition, stress, and smoking, which increases vascular dysfunction due to oxidative stress, classify individuals with acute myocardial infarction according to age groups and investigate whether there is a relationship between serum Paraoxonase-1 activity and severity of coronary artery disease in young patients. The paraoxonase-1 enzyme, which is known to decrease blood levels with age, is found to be significantly lower in patients with myocardial infarction at a young age compared to the healthy control group.

Read the detailed description

High-density lipoprotein (HDL), known as good cholesterol, is named because of its protective effects on the cardiovascular system. in order to summarize the mechanism of the event, cholesterol is transported from the liver to the cells and from the cells back to the liver via blood. Cholesterol and other fats are carried in packets called lipoprotein to dissolve in the blood. Those with these are two kinds of cholesterol, these low-density lipoproteins and good cholesterol can help to lower the cholesterol as well. LDL cholesterol is the main package that carries cholesterol in the blood. When the blood is high, it sticks to the inside of the veins and forms plaques around here. With the addition of cholesterol, a blood clot that formed in cracks that occur on these plaques grow the arteries and clogs them. If the blockage occurs in the heart vessels, it can cause a heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol in the blood is a part of a package called HDL-cholesterol is carried in. HDL-cholesterol prevents the accumulation of cholesterol in the veins.

It collects the cholesterol circulating in the blood and brings it to the liver to get rid of it from the body. Thus, it reduces the exposure of blood vessels to the harmful effects of cholesterol. All these effects of HDL cholesterol in the paraoxonase enzyme owes. This may be the reason why Dolat may even use another nomenclature instead of HDL in future years. A paraoxonase-1 enzyme, which is known to decrease blood level with age, is found to be significantly lower in patients with myocardial infarction at a young age compared with the healthy control group in this study, and the measurement of this enzyme level can be used as a screening test in people with risk factors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction and High-Density Lipoid Deficiency, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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 31 May 2022. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

early diagnosis (time frame: one year). 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 31 May 2022.
