About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study of Structural and Functional Arterial Properties After an Ischaemic Stroke or an Acute Coronary Syndrome

A pilot, prospective, comparative study. To include both male and female patients who have presented an ischaemic stroke (full stroke or TIA) or an ACS, 5 to 30 days prior to inclusion.

The proposed study aims to investigate and analyse the differences in functional and structural arterial properties between the patients who presented an ischaemic stroke and those who presented ACS. The hypothesis is that the patients in both groups will present differences partly in terms of their "traditional" cardiovascular risk factors, but also in terms of their arterial properties. All of the confounding factors studied (cardiovascular risk factors, treatments) will be taken into account in order to explain the differences in the arterial properties found between the two groups. Furthermore, the prevalence of signs and symptoms in the two populations will be studied.

Read the detailed description

A comparative study of structural and functional arterial properties after an ischaemic stroke or an acute coronary syndrome

Objectives:

Primary:

  • To determine whether there is a difference in the biomechanical properties of the carotid arteries, assessed by studying their stiffness, after an acute vascular event, depending on whether the event is an ischaemic stroke (either a full stroke or a transitory ischaemic attack (TIA)) or an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Secondary:

  • To determine whether there is a difference in aortic stiffness and brachial endothelial function after an acute vascular event, depending on whether the event is an ischaemic stroke (full stroke or TIA) or an ACS.
  • To compare the blood pressure (BP) levels and the vascular parameters of the two patient groups (the ischaemic stroke group and the ACS group).
  • To determine whether there is a difference between the respiratory parameters recorded during sleep after an acute vascular event, depending on whether the event is an ischaemic stroke (full stroke or TIA) or an ACS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Stroke and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Grenoble 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 7 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2009. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

biomechanical properties of the carotid arteries (time frame: 1-6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00926874, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Aug 2009.
