Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a link between calcium build up in the veins or arteries (including the veins/arteries of the heart) and deterioration of the bone. This will help understand if there is a connection between heart disease and bone disease. Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CT of the bonesProcedure or surgery

    A CT scan will be performed on one arm and one leg for the purpose of acquiring images for this research study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine if there is a connection between heart disease and bone disease through correlation of bone density with the calcium deposited in the coronary arteries.

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 determine if there is a connection between heart disease and bone disease through correlation of bone density with the calcium deposited in the coronary arteries. (time frame: 1 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.
