Central aortic blood pressure indices and coronary artery disease.
- Conditions
- Patients undergoing coronary angiogram for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2017/09/009697
- Lead Sponsor
- Department of Cardiology
- Brief Summary
Central aortic pressures have recently being increasingly recognised as important predictors cardiovascular outcomes. We in India have very limited data regarding the same and hence in our study we intend to study the central aortic pressures in patients who are undergoing coronary angiogram and to find out whether any association exists between central pressure indices and coronary artery disease.So also we also intend to follow up these patients after the initial enrollment phase for a period of 6 months to assess the incidence of MACE.Thus we also aim to study whether the central aortic pressures have any prognostic value in the prediction of future cardiovascular events.
