Investigating the relationship between metabolic diseases and heart artery health

The Impact of Cardiometabolic Factors on Coronary Artery and Cardiovascular Diseases: a Prospective Cohort Study

Observational Ruijin Hospital · NCT05117424

This study is trying to see how metabolic diseases like diabetes and obesity affect the health of heart arteries in people who already have coronary artery disease.

What this trial studies

The CArdioMetabolism and Atherosclerotic PlaqUe progreSsion (CAMPUS) study is a prospective cohort study that aims to explore how cardiometabolic factors influence the progression of coronary artery disease. It enrolls patients who have established coronary artery disease along with metabolic disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and chronic kidney disease. By systematically collecting data from these patients, the study seeks to understand the interplay between these conditions and their impact on heart health.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-80 with established coronary artery disease and associated metabolic abnormalities.

Not a fit: Patients with severe liver failure, active malignancies, or life expectancy of less than one year may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies for patients with coronary artery disease and metabolic disorders.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results in understanding the relationship between metabolic disorders and cardiovascular health, suggesting that this approach is both relevant and potentially impactful.
