Artery health and brain function in heart disease
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) relates to brain health and mental performance in people with coronary artery disease. It aims to find new ways to protect your heart and mind.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses advanced health data to predict how heart and brain conditions may progress. It aims to help doctors provide better care for people with these diseases.
This study looks at what factors might increase the risk of memory and thinking problems in people with coronary heart disease. It includes testing your memory and metabolism during a hospital stay.
This study tests two approaches together: a computer-based brain training program and a stronger cholesterol-lowering medicine, to see if they can help improve memory and thinking in people with narrowed brain arteries. You would be randomly assigned to different combinations of the two, and the doctors will monitor your progress.
This study looks at how severe narrowing of brain arteries may affect memory and thinking over time. It involves people who have had a mini-stroke or mild stroke and aims to understand the changes in cognitive function.
This study looks at how heart health and brain health are connected. It may help improve thinking and memory in people with mild memory problems.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
