What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how a type of fat in the blood called lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), affects the stiffness of arteries, the health of blood vessel linings, and the heart's ability to pump. Researchers will follow 300 adults for one year, measuring these factors and tracking heart attacks, strokes, or heart-related deaths. The goal is to better understand the risks linked to high Lp(a) levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could clarify how high Lp(a) damages blood vessels and the heart, pointing toward better risk assessment or future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all populations.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

This observational study will include adults aged 18-75 years (regardless of gender) who visit the outpatient clinics of the 2nd University Cardiology Clinic at "Attikon" General Hospital. All participants will sign a consent form. A full medical history, clinical examination, and blood collection will be performed to determine levels of Total Cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, and Lp(a) at each visit. Participants will be divided into three groups: * Group A: Lp(a) ≥50 mg/dL with Total Cholesterol\<200 mg/dl * Group B : Lp(a) \<50 mg/dL. with Total Cholesterol\>200 mg/dl * Group C (Control): Lp(a) \<50 mg/dL. with Total Cholesterol\<200 mg/dl At each group n ≥ 100 participants are anticipated.
