Identifying risks for cardiovascular and neurocognitive diseases using biomarkers

Screening for Biomarkers of Cardiovascular and/or Neurological Fragility: A Longitudinal Prospective Cohort Study Based on the Population Under General Anesthesia

Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05951764

This study is trying to see if measuring certain markers in the blood can help identify people over 45 who are at risk for heart and brain diseases before they have surgery.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to improve the early identification of individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative conditions by utilizing biomarkers. It focuses on patients over 45 years old who are scheduled for outpatient or interventional procedures requiring anesthesia. By measuring arterial stiffness through non-invasive techniques, the study seeks to validate predictive models that can lead to timely preventive therapies. The perioperative period is leveraged as an optimal time for screening due to the direct benefits patients receive from anesthesia consultations.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients over 45 years old undergoing outpatient or scheduled surgeries requiring anesthesia.

Not a fit: Patients under 45 years of age or those opposed to participation will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enable earlier interventions that prevent serious cardiovascular and neurocognitive complications.

How similar studies have performed: While there are numerous predictive models for these conditions, few have been validated in similar settings, making this approach relatively novel.
