Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 who are consulting for cardiovascular risk management, either in primary or secondary prevention.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18 or those under legal protection will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This project aims to collect biological samples from patients at the Centre for Screening and Prevention of Atherosclerosis at Toulouse University Hospital. The primary goal is to validate new biomarkers that can predict future cardiovascular events, addressing the limitations of existing risk factors. Patients will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including interviews about lifestyle and clinical examinations, alongside blood sample collection for further analysis. The study also seeks to explore genetic polymorphisms that may influence susceptibility to atherosclerotic diseases.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved prediction and prevention strategies for cardiovascular diseases.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in identifying biomarkers for cardiovascular events, making this approach both relevant and potentially impactful.
