Survey of a heart and leg condition’s gene differences
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects information to understand how often certain genetic variants (ALDH gene family) show up in people with blocked leg arteries or an acute heart condition. The results may help researchers better understand the biology behind these illnesses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 20 years old
- Have been diagnosed with blocked leg arteries (PAOD) using a test like ankle-brachial index, scan/angiography, ultrasound, CT, or a specialist’s exam
- Have symptoms of leg pain when walking (claudication)
- Also have a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (an urgent heart problem)
- Be willing to participate—if you refuse, you cannot join

Other trials that look related to this one.
This registry study follows people with peripheral artery disease (blocked leg arteries), certain carotid artery narrowing, or an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care over time.
This study looks at results of a minimally invasive procedure done inside blood vessels (endovascular therapy) for people with painful or worsening leg artery disease. It uses both past (retrospective) and future (prospective) patient information to better understand outcomes.
This trial uses a special device to measure tiny blood vessels in the skin of patients with severe leg artery disease. It aims to understand how blood flow changes before and after a common treatment to open blocked leg arteries (angioplasty).
This study examines how immune cells (macrophages) behave differently in patients with blocked arteries in the heart or legs. Understanding this may help doctors develop better treatments for these conditions.
This study tests a new questionnaire (modified VascuQol) to measure how leg artery disease affects your daily life. It aims to create a better tool for doctors to track your symptoms and well-being.
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
