Rationale and design of VICAD-RISK study: Visualization of coronary artery disease for modification of risk factors
Background
With the increasing use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA), the prevalence of patients with nonobstructive atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (NOCAD) is growing. Presence of NOCAD is associated with an increased risk of an unfavorable clinical outcome. Therefore, guideline-directed preventive strategies such as lipid-lowering therapy with statins are important. This study aims to assess whether visualization of personal CTA images to patients with a new diagnosis of NOCAD facilitates reduction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (primary endpoint), improves statin adherence, influences the perception of statin-associated side effects, and modifies the coronary atherosclerotic phenotype.
Methods
The VICAD-RISK study is a Danish multicenter randomized trial including statin naïve patients suspected of chronic coronary syndrome with a new diagnosis of NOCAD determined by first-line coronary CTA. A total of 273 patients will be randomized 1:1:1 into; (1) usual care; representing current clinical practice of general practitioner follow-up; (2) low-intensity intervention; specialized nurse consultation, or (3) high-intensity intervention; similar to group 2 and presentation of the personal CTA-images. All participants, including the intervention groups, will be followed at the discretion of their general practitioner. Research follow-up including biochemistry measurements, and coronary CTA investigation will be repeated for all participants after 12 months.
Conclusion
The VICAD-RISK study evaluates whether personal CTA image visualization in patients with a new diagnosis of NOCAD improves reduction of LDL cholesterol.
期刊介绍:
The American Heart Journal will consider for publication suitable articles on topics pertaining to the broad discipline of cardiovascular disease. Our goal is to provide the reader primary investigation, scholarly review, and opinion concerning the practice of cardiovascular medicine. We especially encourage submission of 3 types of reports that are not frequently seen in cardiovascular journals: negative clinical studies, reports on study designs, and studies involving the organization of medical care. The Journal does not accept individual case reports or original articles involving bench laboratory or animal research.
