  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to study if coronary angiography cause cognitive dysfunction.


Condition Intervention
Coronary Heart Disease
Heart Valve Diseases
 Procedure: Arterial approach

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Study of Cognitive Function Before and After Coronary Angiography

Further study details as provided by Karolinska Institutet:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in cognitive dysfunction from baseline to two days after coronary angiography [ Time Frame: Baseline and two days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    The Montreal Cognitive Assesment test will be performed before, 2 and 30 days after coronary angiography


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of patients with cerebral microemboli [ Time Frame: Baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Cerebral microembolism will be studied by transcraniell doppler at the time of angiography. Findings will be related to change in cognitive function between baseline and two days.
Estimated Enrollment: 80
Study Start Date: September 2011
Study Completion Date: June 2012
Primary Completion Date: June 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Coronary angiography
Patents scheduled for elective coronary angiography
 Procedure: Arterial approach
Randomization to right radial or femoral approach
Other Name: Coronary arteriography

Detailed Description:

We have previously shown, using transcranial doppler, that coronary angiography cause cerebral microembolism. Cerebral microemboli were more common using the radial than femoral approach. Previously, cerebral microembolism has been associated with new cerebral lesions on MRI. The clinical significance of these new lesions is not determined. The primary aim of this pilot study is to see if coronary angiography cause cognitive dysfunction determined by the MoCA-test. A secondary aim is to relate cognitive dysfunction to cerebral microembolism measured by transcranial doppler. A third aim is to study potential differences between the femoral and radial approaches.
