Personal Genomics for Preventive Cardiology
Trial ID or NCT#
NCT01406808
Status
NOT RECRUITING
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to see if providing information to a person on their inherited (genetic) risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) helps to motivate that person to change their diet, lifestyle or medication regimen to alter their risk.
Official Title
A Pilot Randomized Trial of Personal Genomics for Preventive Cardiology
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study: Older than 18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study: ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: Yes
Inclusion Criteria:
- * Adults age \> 18* Patient seeking cardiovascular risk evaluation* At intermediate (6-20%) or high risk (\> 20%) over 10 years of CAD as defined by Framingham 10 year risk score AND/OR at \> 20% risk of CAD over 30 years using the Framingham 30 year risk calculator* The genetic risk factors have been evaluated predominantly in white/European subjects. However, there is considerable overlap in the genetic architecture of South Asians and Hispanic/Latino populations. Therefore, we will limit our initial studies to these three race/ethnicity groups.
Exclusion Criteria:
- * History of myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, PCI, or CABG* Already on lipid lowering therapy* Anticipated survival \<1 year (e.g. metastatic cancer)* Serious conditions that would limit ability to adhere to recommendations (inability to take statins, exercise)* Already had genetic testing* Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial* Pregnant or breastfeeding
