Age and Endothelial Progenitor Cell Mobilization

NCT00585949 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 123

Last updated 2020-03-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is hypothesized that aging is associated with reduced vascular injury-induced endothelial progenitor cell activity, resulting in impaired vascular repair and increased vascular disease. Patients with stable coronary artery disease will be enrolled in this observational study and will undergo either angiography alone or angiography and angioplasty. Participants will be followed for 5 years.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty

This is a procedure by which the blood vessels of the heart are imaged with an insertion of a catheter in the groin and blocked arteries are opened.

PROCEDURE

Angiography

Angiography is an imaging technique to see coronary blood vessels.
