Testing a blood-surface feature to prevent heart problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a healthy blood lining (the glycocalyx) can help predict and reduce the risk of major heart events in people who have not yet had heart disease. You may be asked to do screening tests and share health information to see how these factors relate to future risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being referred for routine screening in the outpatient primary prevention clinic at Attikon University Hospital.
- You have NOT been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (blocked heart blood vessels).
- You have NOT been diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease (blocked leg/arm arteries).
- You have NOT been diagnosed with heart failure, stroke, or hepatic (liver) failure.
- You have NOT been diagnosed with kidney (renal) failure, active cancer, or poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c above 7%).

This study enrolls adults with suspected or confirmed blood cancers to record information and look at changes in the blood vessel lining. Researchers hope this can help explain what happens over time and improve understanding of outcomes.
This trial studies whether a lower-salt plan can improve how your blood vessels work. It’s meant for adults with higher blood pressure who may be at risk for heart and blood vessel problems.
This study looks for new body markers (including possible genetic traits) to better predict who is likely to have future cardiovascular events. Your results could help doctors estimate risk and choose prevention strategies more accurately.
This study looks at how well the heart’s blood vessels work in people who have symptoms of reduced blood flow but no major artery blockage. It uses special heart tests with medicines to check how the vessels respond and may help guide better diagnosis and treatment.
This early-phase study looks at whether a treatment can help reverse problems in blood vessels caused by high glucose (sugar) and blood fat signals. It may be a fit if you are generally healthy, have normal insulin and sugar levels, and have a stable weight.
This study looks at how fat around your organs (visceral fat) might affect your heart and metabolism. You'll have extra blood tests and a liver scan to check for early signs of disease.
