Impact of Inflammation on Heart Procedure Outcomes

A Prospective Study of Residual Inflammatory Risk and the Impact on Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology · NCT05131750

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the role of residual inflammation risk (RIR) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). It will measure high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels before and after the procedure to assess their impact on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The study will recruit hospitalized patients, monitoring changes in hsCRP over time to better understand its correlation with patient outcomes. The findings could help define RIR values specific to the Chinese population undergoing PCI.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are hospitalized patients aged 18 to 80 with coronary heart disease who are undergoing PCI.

Not a fit: Patients with uncontrolled infections, autoimmune diseases, or those on certain medications may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved risk stratification and management strategies for patients with CAD undergoing PCI.

How similar studies have performed: While the concept of RIR has been explored in other populations, this specific investigation in the Chinese context is novel and has not been previously tested.
