About this study

Show that there is a relationship between arterial stiffness and aortic parietal inflammation and that this relationship is different in the three age groups with aortic parietal inflammation occurring earlier than arterial stiffness.

Read the detailed description

In the literature, a relationship has been demonstrated between local inflammation in the aortic wall and increased arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness is commonly represented by pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured using an applanation tonometer. It would seem that this parietal inflammation precedes arterial stiffness and consequently, arterial hypertension . Arterial stiffness is an important factor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and therefore represents a major public health interest in prevention in the face of the continuous aging of our population . This study will consist in studying on a population divided into three age groups, less than 40 years old, 40 to 60 years old and more than 60 years old, the relationship between thoracic aortic parietal inflammation evaluated using the Standard Uptake Value parameters (SUV) and Hounsfield units (HU) measured on 18F-FDG PET/CT scans performed between 09/04/2018 and 11/06/2020 and arterial stiffness parameters. We will seek to show that there is a relationship between arterial stiffness and aortic parietal inflammation and that this relationship is different in the three age groups with aortic parietal inflammation occurring earlier than arterial stiffness.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arterial Stiffness, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

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 30 Nov 2023. 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 France. 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?

to etablish a relationship inflammation of aortic wall and arterial stiffness (time frame: 1 day). 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 30 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 4 Nov 2026.
