About this study

To investigate the relationship of non-invasively measured flow-mediated brachial artery dilation with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

This study meshed with a longitudinal case-control study, HL-35333, Carotid Atherosclerosis Follow-Up Study. HL-35333 comprised 280 individuals older than 45 equally divided between men and women, half with and half without CAD evaluated for risk factors at baseline and with completed follow-up with yearly B-mode for three years. The Carotid Atherosclerosis Follow-Up Study quantified the interassociations of angiographically defined coronary artery disease and CAD risk factors with progression. The NIH funded a continuation of this effort to review existing ultrasound tapes from this study in order to additionally evaluate the associations of all these factors with extracranial carotid arterial dimensions (ECAD: interadventitial and lumen diameters) and change in ECAD over time.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The study assessed brachial artery reactivity among 100 CAD subjects and 100 controls who had been previously enrolled in a study of the relationship between extracranial intima media thickness (ECIMT) as assessed by B mode ultrasonographic measurements and CAD status. Most subjects had three consecutive B mode measurements at 12 month intervals. These subjects had brachial artery reactivity measurements according to a standardized protocol. Linear regression analysis was used to relate brachial artery reactivity to CAD status, gender and risk factors as predictors. Interaction effects were also assessed between CAD status and other risk factors and also between gender and other risk factors. Similar analyses were performed to relate percent dilation to ECIMT measurements.

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 16 Mar 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 NCT00005506, which also lists 3 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 16 Mar 2016.
