Phase N/A

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) happens when the arteries that bring blood to your heart become narrow or blocked. This can cause chest pain during exercise. CAD can make your heart weak, lead to heart failure, or increase the risk of a heart attack or death. In this study, scientists are looking at proteins in the blood called biomarkers, which can show the risk of having problems due to CAD. The goal is to see if personalized treatment based on these biomarkers can lower their levels and reduce health risks. Participants will be randomly placed into two groups: treatment or usual care. The treatment group will have medicine adjustments and lifestyle changes, while the usual care group will continue with their usual doctor’s advice. Participation involves physical exams, blood tests, and answering questions at Emory University Hospital. Participants will be paid for their time. Blood samples collected may be shared with other researchers for future studies.

  • Study takes place at Emory University Hospital.
  • Participants will receive compensation.
  • Blood and data will be used for further research.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
