Meal fats and heart artery disease in non-diabetic people
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how fats in your blood after a meal (called triglycerides) might affect the buildup of plaque in your heart arteries. It is for people who have coronary artery disease but do not have diabetes or other major health problems like liver, kidney, or thyroid disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have coronary artery disease (confirmed by a heart catheterization, lab tests, or an ECG/heart tracing).
- You do not have diabetes.
- You do not have liver disease (like hepatitis or fatty liver).
- You do not have kidney disease (like chronic kidney disease).
- You do not have thyroid disease (like an underactive or overactive thyroid).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a simple blood test called the triglyceride glucose index can help doctors understand heart artery disease in younger patients who do not have diabetes. It may lead to better ways to assess heart risk and guide treatment.
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 examines whether a simple blood test measuring blood sugar and fat levels (the triglyceride-glucose index) can predict future heart problems in people who have had a heart attack without blocked arteries. The goal is to find better ways to monitor and treat these patients.
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This study looks at why triglycerides and cholesterol can be abnormal and how that may affect organs like nerves, liver, and metabolism. You may be included if you already take a statin, have certain triglyceride levels, diabetes, kidney disease, or specific lab patterns suggesting inherited fat disorders.
This trial is looking at how a simple blood test (triglyceride-glucose index) relates to complete blockages in heart arteries. It may help find people at higher risk without extra procedures.
