List of cardiovascular clinical trials

This is a list of cardiovascular clinical trials, categorized and alphabetized.

Acute coronary syndrome

Arrhythmias

  • Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) - randomized controlled trial designed to test the hypothesis that suppression of premature ventricular complexes (PVC) with class I antiarrhythmic agents after a myocardial infarction (MI) would reduce mortality.[2][3]

Atrial fibrillation

Coronary artery disease

Epidemiology

  • Busselton Health Study - a prospective cohort study of residents of the Western Australian city of Busselton regarding cardiovascular disease, pulmonary function, diabetes, and cancer.[4]
  • Caerphilly Heart Disease Study - prospective cohort study of the residents from Caerphilly, South Wales, to examine relationships between a wide range of social, lifestyle, dietary, and other factors with incident vascular disease.[5]
  • Framingham Heart Study - long-term, ongoing cardiovascular cohort study of residents of the city of Framingham, Massachusetts.[6]
  • Nurses' Health Study - series of prospective studies that examine epidemiology and the long-term effects of nutrition, hormones, environment, and nurses' work-life on health and disease development.[7]
  • Seven Countries Study - a prospective cohort study that examined the relationships between lifestyle, diet, coronary heart disease, and stroke in different populations.[8]
  • Strong Heart Study - cohort study of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors among American Indian men and women.[9]

Heart failure

  • Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial (MADIT) - a series of randomized controlled trials designed to test the hypothesis that implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in moderately high-risk coronary patients would significantly reduce death.[10]
  • RALES (trial) - randomized controlled trial comparing spironolactone to placebo when added to standard care in patients with advanced heart failure.[11]

Hypertension

Lipids

  • AIM-HIGH (trial) - a randomized controlled trial of niacin for increasing HDL levels.[14]
  • HDL-Atherosclerosis Treatment Study (HATS) - a randomized controlled trial that studied people with coronary heart disease and compared a combination of simvastatin and niacin with antioxidant vitamin therapy.[15]
  • Heart Protection Study - a randomized controlled trial that studied the cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin and vitamin supplementation in people at risk of cardiovascular disease.[16]
  • JUPITER trial - a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether statins reduce heart attacks and strokes in people with normal cholesterol levels.[17]
  • PROVE-IT TIMI 22 - a randomized controlled trial that compared intensive vs. moderate-dose statin therapy immediately after a heart attack.[18]
  • Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) - a randomized controlled trial that studied the use of the cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin in people with moderately raised cholesterol and coronary heart disease.[19]
  • West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) - a randomized controlled trial that compared the cholesterol-lowering drug pravastatin in patients with no previous history of a heart attack.[20]
