Registration Number

Lead Sponsor
Instituto de Cardiologia de Santa Catarina
Brief Summary

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality, despite being preventable. Moderate wine consumption has been associated with one of the preventative approaches due to its benefits on cardiovascular health, including endothelial protection and antioxidant effects, attributed to its chemical composition, such as flavonoids.

Objective: To assess endothelial function through flow-mediated dilation after the consumption of red wine compared to non-alcoholic wine.

Methodology: A parallel, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a blinded evaluator will be conducted with 20 healthy participants, evaluated at two distinct time points. Participants will be selected to receive either red wine or non-alcoholic wine and will be crossed over after 7 days to receive the opposite beverage from the initial one. The primary outcome will be the change in flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery pre- and post-intervention in both groups. The secondary outcomes will include the flow-mediated dilation values, brachial artery diameter after the intervention, and measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Flow-mediated dilation40 minutes after the substance intake

Evaluate flow-mediated dilation after the consumption of red wine compared to placebo

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Blood pressure40 minutes after the substance intake

Analyze the difference in blood pressure (in mmHg) after the consumption of red wine compared to the consumption of non-alcoholic wine.

Heart rate40 minutes after the substance intake

Brachial artery diameter at rest40 minutes after the substance intake

Evaluate the difference in the diameter (at rest) of the brachial artery (measured in millimeters) before and after consuming red wine.

Brachial artery diameter after endothelial stress40 minutes after the substance intake

Evaluate the difference in the diameter (after endothelial stress) of the brachial artery (measured in millimeters) before and after consuming red wine.
