About this study
1.1. Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in our country for over four decades. The pathophysiology of CVD begins with various cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs) and their poor management, leading to subclinical lesions in target organs such as albuminuria or left ventricular hypertrophy, which may evolve into CVD. This progression is referred to as the cardiovascular continuum. Patients with chronic cardiovascular conditions require comprehensive periodic health monitoring in primary care (PC), including lifestyle advice and an assessment of comorbidities. Risk factors linked to disease progression are monitored and managed, along with medication reconciliation and planning follow-up care. Such activities, especially post-COVID, help maintain clinical stability and organize healthcare demand, reducing unnecessary interventions and costs. In Galicia, continuity of care programs for ischemic heart disease focus on optimizing service delivery at appropriate levels, including electronic consultations that improve healthcare accessibility, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. Introducing Inclisiran for chronic CVD patients post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) hospitalization might streamline care continuity, reducing healthcare costs and improving outcomes.
1.2. Purpose The disruption of care continuity in patients post-ACS increases their risk of mortality and hospitalizations due to coronary complications and comorbidities, as well as emergency visits and unplanned healthcare interactions, thus elevating healthcare costs. We propose reorganizing care continuity for ACS patients by establishing a PC pathway with scheduled semi-annual visits to assess overall and cardiovascular health and to evaluate patient prognosis and healthcare resource utilization.

- Objectives 2.1. Primary Objectives The main goal is to evaluate whether a follow-up program incorporating Inclisiran treatment in patients with chronic coronary syndrome can optimize follow-up (reducing unscheduled visits to PC and hospital emergency departments), improve control of risk factors (like physical activity, adherence to a Mediterranean diet, lipid profiles, blood pressure, glycemic profile, and renal function), and decrease direct economic costs.
2.2. Secondary Objectives The secondary objectives include analyzing adherence to prescribed chronic pharmacological treatment, factors driving higher demand among patients with chronic coronary syndrome, reasons for emergency visits, hospital admissions, and causes of mortality among these patients.
- Methodology 3.1. Study Design A pilot, multicentric, analytical intervention study will be conducted involving five health centers in the Santiago de Compostela health area, with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined. The study will monitor patients over 27 months, following a detailed protocol.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
1.1. Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in our country for over four decades. The pathophysiology of CVD begins with various cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs) and their poor management, leading to subclinical lesions in target organs such as albuminuria or left ventricular hypertrophy, which may evolve into CVD. This progression is referred to as the cardiovascular continuum. Patients with chronic cardiovascular conditions require comprehensive periodic health monitoring in primary care (PC), including lifestyle advice and an assessment of comorbidities. Risk factors linked to disease progression are monitored and managed, along with medication reconciliation and planning follow-up care. Such activities, especially post-COVID, help maintain clinical stability and organize healthcare demand, reducing unnecessary interventions and costs. In Galicia, continuity of care programs for ischemic heart disease focus on optimizing service delivery at appropriate levels, including electronic consultations that improve healthcare accessibility, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. Introducing Inclisiran for chronic CVD patients post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) hospitalization might streamline care continuity, reducing healthcare costs and improving outcomes.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Inclisiran in people with Ischemic Heart Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Jose Seijas Amigo at 6 sites in Spain.
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 13 inclusion and 4 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 6 sites in Spain. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact SERGIO CINZA SANJURJO, PHD MD (+34915002171, scinzas@semergen.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Unplanned Medical Visits (time frame: 2 YEARS). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 May 2024.
