Early Detection of Atherosclerosis: a Randomized Trial in the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Early Detection of Atherosclerosis in the Primary Care Setting: a Randomized Trial to Assess the Efficacy of a Novel Strategy in the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases.
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases is still high and further efforts should be done in primary prevention. The main objective is to quantify the burden of subclinical atherosclerosis using non-invasive techniques,and to study the impact of this assessment and consequent treatment in the progression of atherosclerosis and in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
We will perform non-invasive techniques (carotid Intima-Media Thickness, CAC score and ankle-brachial index) to individuals at intermediate cardiovascular risk.With these results, we will classify participants in: no atherosclerosis, mild, moderate and severe atherosclerosis, and therapeutic targets will be set according to pre-defined algorithms. The end-point will be the course of atherosclerosis measured by cIMT/CAC score (2 years) and the incidence of CVD at 5 years of follow-up.
Interventional
Phase 4
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Cardiovascular Diseases
  • Drug: Simvastatin or Atorvastatin
    Simvastatin 10-40 mg or Atorvastatin 20-40 mg will be prescribed according to LDL cholesterol reduction target.
    Other Names:
    • Simvastatin 10-40.
    • Atorvastatin 20-40.
  • Drug: Enalapril
    Enalapril 10 mg/day will be prescribed as the initial treatment. Doses and adding drugs will be titrated accordingly
    Other Names:
    • ACE inhibitors.

    In both arms, we will follow the standard clinical care in terms of treatments, as far as obesity and diabetes mellitus is concerned.

    Drugs will be prescribed as the standard clinical care

    Other Name: Rimonabant is allowed.
  • Experimental: 1
    Participants assigned to the intensive arm (1) will be targeted to specified therapeutic aims (concerning lipids, blood pressure and antiplatelets)according to the results of carotid ultrasound and ankle-brachial index.
    Interventions:
    • Drug: Simvastatin or Atorvastatin
    • Drug: Enalapril
    • Drug: Aspirin or clopidogrel
    • Drug: Rimonabant
  • Active Comparator: 2
    Participants assigned to control group (2) will be followed according to the clinical standard of care.
    Intervention: Drug: Rimonabant
