- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Surrogate markers 6 months In order to address these hypotheses, our specific aims are to investigate the effect of administration of six months of hydroxytyrosol in individuals with multiple cardiovascular risk factors and with known coronary artery disease, on: Improvement and normalization of surrogate markers of CVD such as leukocytes, glucose, lipids, renal function, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).
Endothelial function 6 months In order to address these hypotheses, our specific aims are to investigate the effect of administration of six months of hydroxytyrosol in individuals with multiple cardiovascular risk factors and with known coronary artery disease, on: Improvement of endothelial function as determined by peripheral endothelial function testing and circulating EPCs.
