An observational study in Coronary Artery Disease, sponsored by Beijing Hospital. Recruiting at 3 sites in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-20.
Sponsored by Beijing Hospital · Observational
This ambidirectional observational cohort study builds upon and expands an existing coronary artery disease (CAD) cohort based on retinal fundus imaging (ChiCTR2200066429). A comprehensive baseline database will be established, including demographic characteristics, laboratory test results, coronary angiography findings, quantitative retinal vascular features, and multi-omics data.Artificial intelligence methods will be used to quantify retinal vascular characteristics and to develop and validate models for identifying and predicting CAD. In addition, targeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays will be developed to measure previously identified CAD-related biomarkers, including metabolites and lipids, in baseline biological samples. Clinical, retinal imaging, and multi-omics data will subsequently be integrated to develop a risk stratification model for identifying individuals at high risk of CAD. Participants will be followed for cardiovascular events to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. The findings may support the development of improved strategies for CAD detection, risk assessment, and clinical management. No treatment or clinical intervention is assigned by the study protocol, and all medical decisions are made as part of routine clinical care.
This study uses an ambidirectional cohort design comprising both retrospective and prospective phases. The retrospective phase includes eligible participants identified from clinical records between June 01, 2022 and May 13, 2024. The prospective phase includes participants enrolled between May 14, 2024 and December 31, 2026, with follow-up for cardiovascular events.
4,857 studies on the registry are indexed under Coronary Artery Disease; 890 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 3,000 is above the median of 320 across 1,687 observational studies indexed under Coronary Artery Disease.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
The study population consists of inpatients recruited from Beijing Hospital, Beijing Haidian Hospital, and Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University. Eligible participants are adults older than 18 years who provide informed consent and undergo coronary angiography during hospitalization because of symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia or the presence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors. This study builds upon and further expands an existing coronary artery disease (CAD) cohort based on retinal fundus imaging (ChiCTR2200066429), which began enrolling participants in June 2022.

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Number of participants with coronary artery disease
Time frame: Within 7 days of coronary angiography during hospitalization
Gensini Score
The Gensini score is used to assess the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease. The minimum score is 0, with no predefined maximum score. Higher scores indicate more severe coronary artery disease and a worse outcome.The Gensini score will be calculated only for patients who undergo coronary angiography and have no history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Time frame: Within 7 days of coronary angiography during hospitalization
SYNTAX Score
The Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score is used to assess the anatomical complexity of coronary artery disease.The minimum score is 0, with no predefined maximum score. Higher scores indicate more severe coronary artery disease and a worse outcome.The SYNTAX score will be calculated only for patients who undergo coronary angiography and have no history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Time frame: Within 7 days of coronary angiography during hospitalization
Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
Time frame: At 6 months and 1 year after hospital discharge

Started May 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 31 months after the start.
Of 634 non-industry observational studies under Coronary Artery Disease, half reached primary completion within 48 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 122. This study's planned 31 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 759 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 87.
