About this study

To investigate hemostatic variables in relation to cardiovascular risk in the Framingham Offspring Study cohort.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Elevation of platelet reactivity plasminogen activator inhibitor, fibrinogen, von Willebrand's factor, and factor VII have been reported to increase myocardial infarction risk. Myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death are more frequent in the morning when platelet activity is increased and fibrinolysis is decreased. Reduction of recurrent myocardial infarction by aspirin and coumadin suggests causal roles for platelet activity and coagulation. Increases in viscosity and decreases in anti-thrombin III and Protein C have been linked with increased thrombosis. Despite these findings, a coherent picture of these disparate hemostatic indices as cardiac risk factors has yet to emerge.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

Platelet reactivty, plasminogen activatator inhibitor, fibrinogen, von Willebrand's factor, factor VII, and other hemostatic risk factors were measured in all 4,000 subjects of the Framingham Offspring Study. The data were combined with the regularly collected Framingham data to: determine the relationships between hemostatic factors and carotid atherosclerosis as assessed by ultrasound; determine the relationship between hemostatic factors and the traditional cardiac risk factors; and determine if hemostatic risk factors independently predict myocardial infarction and cardiac death.

The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Heart Diseases, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 18 Feb 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00005356, which also lists 5 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 18 Feb 2016.
