Personalized prevention program for patients with high-risk stable coronary heart disease
Official title: A Prospective Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Clinical Value and Cost-effectiveness of a Personalized Prevention Program in Patients With High Risk Stable Coronary Heart Disease
Run by Tampere University · NCT04433052 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a personalized prevention program to see if it can help people with high-risk stable coronary heart disease avoid heart problems better than regular care.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are males and females aged 30 to 80 with significant coronary artery stenosis or a recent myocardial infarction.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have experienced acute coronary events or have severe heart failure symptoms within the last month may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the clinical value and cost-effectiveness of a personalized prevention program (PPP) for patients with high-risk stable coronary heart disease (CHD). It consists of two parts: the first part involves screening 12,000 subjects to validate biomarkers for risk stratification, while the second part includes a randomized clinical trial with 2,000 high-risk subjects assigned to either the PPP or usual care. The study aims to assess the impact of the PPP on reducing cardiovascular events and to explore the economic benefits of this personalized approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with stable CHD.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in personalized prevention strategies for cardiovascular diseases, indicating potential success for this approach.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Eligible study subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Informed consent form signed by the study subjects. 2. Male or female aged 30 to 80 years on the day of enrolment. 3. \> 50% stenosis in one or more major coronary arteries on angiography or computerised tomography (CT) performed within the preceding one year (from enrolment visit). or Myocardial infarction (type I, II) during the preceding year. Eligible study subjects must not meet any of the following exclusion criteria: 1. Hospitalisation for acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularisation or acute heart failure within the preceding one month (30 days). These subjects can be enrolled after a one-month stabilisation period, which begins from the time of the event. 2. Subjects with NYHA class III-IV heart failure i.e. marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, comfortable only at rest. 3. Uncontrolled arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardias. 4. Subjects undergoing dialysis due to severe renal disease. 5. Diseases that severely disable exercising (per investigator's judgement), such as rheumatoid arthritis, neurological or orthopaedic diseases. 6. Known aplastic or haemolytic anaemia. 7. Concomitant non-coronary disease, such as malignancy that limits life expectancy to less than three years. 8. Concurrent participation in another interventional study. 9. Subjects not able and/or willing to attend all scheduled visits and comply with all study procedures and use a smartphone application.
