Registry of patients with both cerebral and coronary atherosclerosis after acute ischemic stroke

Coexistence of Cerebral and Coronary Atherosclerosis in Acute Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease Patients Registry

Observational Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing · NCT03788512

This study is looking at patients who have both brain and heart artery problems after a stroke to see what factors affect their health and how to improve their care over the next five years.

What this trial studies

The Coexistence of Cerebral and Coronary Atherosclerosis in Acute Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease Patients Registry (CoCCA) is an observational registry focused on patients hospitalized for acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (AICVD) who exhibit atherosclerotic changes in both cerebral and coronary arteries. This single-center study aims to identify risk factors and develop prognostic models to improve patient outcomes. Clinical, imaging, and laboratory data will be collected at baseline, with follow-up assessments conducted over five years through patient self-reports and investigator follow-ups. The goal is to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this high-risk patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack within 30 days of symptom onset, who also have confirmed atherosclerosis in both cerebral and coronary arteries.

Not a fit: Patients with malignant tumors, poor organ function, or hematologic diseases with a life expectancy of less than five years may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could lead to improved risk stratification and treatment strategies for patients with both cerebral and coronary atherosclerosis.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited evidence specifically addressing the coexistence of cerebral and coronary atherosclerosis, similar observational studies have shown promise in understanding and improving outcomes in patients with atherosclerotic diseases.
