Procedure: coronary artery bypass grafting
Registration Number
NCT02515747
Lead Sponsor
Russian Cardiology Research and Production Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein(a) phenotype in fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) events risk in coronary disease patients divided on the basis of management strategy - medical, endovascular or open cardiac surgery.

Detailed Description

Between January 1993 and September 2006, we enrolled 1400 consecutive patients from the Atherosclerosis Department with known Lp(a) levels and coronary heart disease (CHD) verified by angiography. In accordance with clinical condition and angiography data were assigned them into three parallel treatment arms and followed up to 15 years. This study was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and the Institutional Ethics Committee.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
non-fatal myocardial infarction and cardiovascular deathup to 15 years

we took a composite primary outcome measure because anticipated a low number of hard-end-points in each treatment arm

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
non-fatal myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death and myocardial revascularisation and hospitalization for recurrent or unstable anginaup to 15 years

we chose a composite secondary outcome mesure as a standard for such type studies and to obtain a statistical difference between the groups
