All recruiting trials (6)
-
PCSK9 inhibitor plus statin for reversing asymptomatic intracranial artery plaque
This trial will test whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor to statin therapy can shrink plaque and improve narrowing in adults aged 18–60 with asymptomatic intracranial artery stenosis (≥50%).
-
Short-term high-dose rosuvastatin effects on coronary plaque using photon-counting CT
This trial tests whether a short course of intensified rosuvastatin (40 mg) changes coronary plaque composition and flow on photon‑counting coronary CT in statin‑naive adults with stable chest pain and mild atherosclerosis.
-
Fish oil plus metformin for heart health in women with PCOS
This trial will test whether taking dietary fish oil with metformin improves heart-related measures, blood fats, and insulin–glucose control in overweight women with PCOS, including some with type 2 diabetes.
-
Research on carotid plaques and their imaging
This study is trying to find out how to spot dangerous plaques in the arteries that could cause heart attacks or strokes by looking at samples removed during surgery.
-
Reducing plaque in coronary arteries using a drug-coated balloon
This study is testing if a special drug-coated balloon can help reduce plaque in the arteries of people with serious heart disease better than regular medication.
-
Study of early coronary artery disease in young adults in Pakistan
This study is trying to understand how common and serious early heart artery disease is in young and middle-aged Pakistani men and women who don’t have any heart problems yet.
