Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy men and women aged 21-69 years without a history of cardiovascular disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, or other significant health conditions may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to analyze the cardiovascular health of relatively healthy individuals by collecting comprehensive clinical data, advanced imaging results, and genetic information. Participants will undergo various assessments, including cardiac MRI, blood tests, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, to correlate these findings with adverse clinical outcomes such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The study seeks to address gaps in understanding how to interpret cardiovascular tests and improve healthcare management in Singapore.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the prediction of cardiovascular events and improve management strategies for heart health in the general population.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using similar methodologies to assess cardiovascular health, making this approach both relevant and promising.
