The correlative study of coronary risk factors by coronary computerized tomography angiography (CCTA) in a non-symptomatic and untreated population.

Compare the patients with coronary plague to the individuals with normal coronary artery detected by coronary computerized tomography angiography (CCTA) in a symptomless and untreated population to study correlation of coronary risk factors and the progression of coronary heart disease (CHD).

Summary

Coronary computerized tomography angiography (CCTA) is applied extensively in the big cities of China, even as an item of health examination. In this observational study, we want to investigate the proportion of the patients with abnormal coronary artery by CCTA in a non-symptomatic and untreated population, and the degree of their plagues. A statistical analysis is designed based on many items including laboratory examinations and ultrasound to find the correlation between coronary risk factors and coronary score in the early phase of coronary atherosclerosis. Additionally, the progression of CHD will be studied by comparing different data of CCTA in one patient.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This observational study is looking at how many people who appear healthy actually have early-stage buildup of plaque in their heart arteries, as detected by a special CT scan called a coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Researchers in China want to understand how common risk factors — like blood pressure, cholesterol, and lifestyle — relate to the early signs of heart artery disease in people with no symptoms. You may be eligible if: - You were admitted for a health check-up at the participating hospital between January 2010 and June 2012 - You underwent a coronary CT angiography scan during that admission - You are between 25 and 70 years old You may NOT be eligible if: - You have symptoms of heart disease - You have a known history of heart disease - You have received any ongoing medical treatment for a health condition Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This is a simplified summary. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

The prevalence and the correlation of coronary risk factors in a non-symptomatic and untreated population who received CCTA from Jan 1st 2010 to Jun 1st 2012 in a health exam center. If a patient underwent CCTA twice, compare these data to find the progression of CHD. The data of the past and futrure patients is stored in the Database of Chinese PLA General Hospital and retrieved by the Computer Department of Chinese PLA General Hospital.
