Testing a high-protein diet for heart plaque risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether eating more protein affects atherosclerosis, which is plaque buildup in artery walls. It may help researchers understand if a high-protein approach changes health markers linked to heart disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at how a type of fat in the blood called lipoprotein(a) and your body's ability to break down clots affect heart disease or heart valve disease. It is for people who are already taking certain cholesterol-lowering medicines or have severe aortic valve narrowing from calcium buildup.
This study looks at how eating more or different types of proteins (animal vs plant) may change your blood sugar handling. It mainly targets adults who eat relatively little protein and have no diabetes.
This study looks at whether eating more dairy (from cow’s milk) changes markers linked to heart and metabolic risk in adults with higher body weight. It mainly aims to understand how diet affects the body’s metabolism and related risk factors.
This study tests whether an educational program can help people with high cholesterol and heart disease get their LDL cholesterol levels lower. It involves watching online videos and working with your doctor to adjust treatments.
This study looks at how different diets (vegan, carnivore, or mixed) affect cholesterol and heart health. If you've been following one of these diets for at least 6 months, you might be able to help researchers learn more.
This study looks at how well plant-based diets meet the body's protein needs in different age groups. You'll follow a plant-based eating plan temporarily, and researchers will check your blood to see how your body responds.
