Aspirin for silent heart disease: pilot study aims to pave the way
NCT ID NCT07524335
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study checks if a bigger trial on low-dose aspirin for people with early, symptom-free coronary artery disease can be done. It will enroll 48 adults with signs of artery narrowing but no symptoms. The main goal is to see if doctors can recruit enough patients and if patients are willing to join.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Documented coronary atherosclerosis, as defined by one of the following criteria: 1. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score \> 0; 2. Cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) / CoroScan: lesions \<70% in the right coronary (RCA), left anterior descending (LAD), and circumflex (Cx) arteries or their branches, and \<50% in the left main coronary artery; 3. Coronary angiography: lesions \<70% in the right coronary (RCA), left anterior descending (LAD), and circumflex (Cx) arteries or their branches, and \<50% in the left main coronary artery; if performed, physiological coronary assessments (FFR, dPR, iFR, etc.) and intracoronary imaging (IVUS or OCT) must be negative for significant disease. 2. Willing and able to provide informed consent and comply with study procedures Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of myocardial infarction (MI), coronary revascularization, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or peripheral arterial revascularization procedure; 2. Current prescription or clear indication for aspirin, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), direct oral anticoagulants, or any other antithrombotic medication; 3. Clear contraindication to aspirin; 4. History of significant bleeding within the past year; 5. Severe illness with limited life expectancy (i.e., \<5 years); 6. Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make participation unsafe for the patient.
