Brief Summary:

The study is a prospective-observational, explorative single-centre cohort study aimed to examine the influence of hemodynamic and geometric parameters on the progression of atherosclerotic alterations in peripheral vessels (carotids, femoral artery). Atherosclerotic alterations (IMT, plaque volume) will be measured with a ultrasound (IMT measurements and 3D quantitative plaque volumetry) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Geometric parameters (e.g. carotid/femoral bifurcation angle, carotid/femoral bifurcation area) are assessed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and also 3D ultrasonography.

A total of 100 patients with an asymmetrical plaque distribution in carotid and femoral arteries will be tested. Only patients who are already enrolled in the "Correlation of Artherosclerotic Plaque Volume and Intima Media Thickness With Soluble P-selectin" (NCT01895725) and who are tested prior for an asymmetrical plaque distribution will be included in this study. MRI will be performed once whereas ultrasound imaging will be be repeated once per year (up to five times) to assess changes in these parameters over time. Also plasma samples will be collected once yearly and tested for traditional and novel cardiovascular risk factors.

The primary endpoint of the planned study will be the correlation between geometrical and hemodynamic parameters as stated above and the progression of atherosclerosis as measured by plaque volume and IMT in the carotid and femoral arteries, respectively.

Secondary endpoints will include the correlation of geometrical and hemodynamic parameters with established (hypertension, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidemia) and novel risk factors (hsCRP, P-selectin, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), CETP TaqIb polymorphism), with cardiovascular event rate, plaque localization, plaque morphology and the additional predictive value of geometrical parameters compared to an established risk score (SCORE card).

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Correlation between geometrical and hemodynamic parameters and the progression of atherosclerosis [ Time Frame: up to 1 year ]
    Haemodynamic/geometric parameters will be assessed with MRI and 3D-US. This includes carotid/femoral bifurcation angle, common carotid/femoral area, carotid/femoral bifurcation area, internal and external carotid area, femoral superficial artery area and carotid/femoral bifurcation length. Progression of atherosclerosis will be measured via 3D-US by plaque volume and IMT in the carotid and femoral arteries, respectively.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Correlation of geometrical and hemodynamic parameters with established and novel risk factors. [ Time Frame: up to 1 year ]
    Secondary endpoint will include the correlation of geometrical and hemodynamic parameters with established (hypertension, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidemia) and novel risk factors (hsCRP, P-selectin, cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), CETP TaqIb polymorphism), with cardiovascular event rate, plaque localization, plaque morphology and the additional predictive value of geometrical risk constellations compared to an established risk score (SCORE card).

  2. Correlation of geometrical and hemodynamic parameters with cardiovascular event rate [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Secondary endpoint will include the correlation of geometrical and hemodynamic parameters with the cardiovascular event rate (MACE-rate, coronary/ femoral surgery/intervention)

  3. Correlation of geometrical and hemodynamic parameters with plaque morphology [ Time Frame: up to 1 year ]
    Secondary endpoint will include the correlation of geometrical and hemodynamic parameters with the plaque morphology (gray-scale median, Gray-Weale scores, plaque surface state)
