Study summary

This prospective observational cohort study investigates cardiovascular outcomes and associated risk factors in patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected or established coronary artery disease at Feldkirch Regional Hospital in Vorarlberg, Austria.

The study aims to identify clinical, metabolic, laboratory, and lifestyle factors associated with coronary artery disease and subsequent cardiovascular events. Baseline assessments include clinical characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, laboratory measurements, and lifestyle-related information.

The primary outcomes are all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. Follow-up assessments are conducted approximately every two years through telephone interviews and review of available clinical records and databases. Mortality status and causes of death are assessed using data from Statistics Austria and available medical records. Long-term follow-up is planned to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and changes in risk factors over time.

The study aims to enroll approximately 2,000 participants, with recruitment ongoing.

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite advances in cardiovascular prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Patients undergoing coronary angiography frequently present with cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. Changes in therapeutic strategies highlight the need for contemporary prospective cohort data to improve cardiovascular risk assessment.

This study is designed to investigate the associations between clinical, metabolic, laboratory, and lifestyle-related characteristics and subsequent cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography for suspected or established stable coronary artery disease.

The study objectives include identifying risk factors associated with cardiovascular events and angiographically detectable coronary artery disease, evaluating longitudinal changes in anthropometric, lifestyle-related, and laboratory parameters, and investigating the relationships between cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors.

At baseline, participants undergo comprehensive clinical and laboratory assessments, including evaluation of cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities, medication use, and lifestyle-related characteristics. Biological samples are collected for laboratory analyses and stored for further investigations.

Participants are followed approximately every two years through telephone interviews and review of available clinical records and databases to document nonfatal cardiovascular events and changes in relevant clinical characteristics. Mortality status and causes of death are assessed using data from Statistics Austria and available medical records.

The primary outcomes are all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. Long-term follow-up is planned to investigate cardiovascular outcomes and their associations with baseline characteristics and risk factors over time.

Study population

The study population consists of consecutive adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography for the evaluation of suspected or established stable coronary artery disease at Feldkirch Regional Hospital, Austria. Eligible patients are prospectively enrolled after providing written informed consent. Patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome are excluded. The planned study population comprises approximately 2,000 participants.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥18 years.
  • Clinically indicated coronary angiography for the evaluation of suspected or established stable coronary artery disease at Feldkirch Regional Hospital, Austria.
  • Written to participate in the study after receiving comprehensive information about the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age under 18 years.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Individuals detained by order of a judicial or administrative authority.
  • Known current alcohol or illicit drug abuse that, in the investigator's judgment, may compromise participant safety or compliance.

  • Inability to understand and sign the form.
  • Acute coronary syndrome.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography

    Adult patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography for suspected or established stable coronary artery disease at Feldkirch Regional Hospital, Austria. Baseline clinical and laboratory assessments are performed at enrollment. Participants are prospectively followed to evaluate all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and associated risk factors. Follow-up data are collected through telephone interviews and queries of relevant clinical and administrative databases.

    Procedure: Coronary Angiography

Interventions

  • ProcedureCoronary Angiography

    Coronary angiography performed as part of routine clinical care for the evaluation of suspected or established stable coronary artery disease. The procedure is clinically indicated and is not assigned by the study protocol.

06

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Cardiovascular Events

    Occurrence of cardiovascular events within two years after baseline coronary angiography. Events are ascertained during follow-up and verified using available medical records.

    Time frame: 2 years after baseline coronary angiography

  2. All-Cause Mortality

    All-cause mortality, defined as death from any cause within two years after baseline coronary angiography. Mortality status and causes of death are assessed using data from Statistics Austria and available medical records.

    Time frame: 2 years after baseline coronary angiography

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2030, 105 months after the start.

Of 635 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 105 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 760 studies reached it within 41 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 87.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
