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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a special diet aimed at improving gut health and reducing heart disease risk in people with HIV. You may be eligible if your heart disease risk is moderately elevated.
This study tests whether switching to a defined plant-based diet can help people with heart disease. It aims to see if this diet improves heart health markers and how you feel.
This trial looks at how treating or managing conditions like diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, kidney disease, or high cholesterol affects artery plaque over time. It may help researchers find ways to slow plaque buildup and related heart risks.
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 a new plant-based ingredient to see if it improves heart health and metabolism in older adults who are at risk for heart disease or diabetes. If you're over 60 and have a larger waist or higher triglycerides (a type of fat in your blood), this might be a good fit.
