Observing the Role of Inflammation in Peripheral Artery Disease and Its Impact on Heart and Mobility Health: PANACEA-O. (NCT07500610)
Protocol Title Peripheral Arterial Disease and InflammatioN Study Assessing the Cardiovascular and Functional Effects - Observational Study: PANACEA-O
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This registry aims to collect detailed information about people in Canada who have Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and are receiving care in heart clinics while still able to walk and live in the community. Researchers want to better understand what these patients are like at the start of their care and looking at their general health, levels of inflammation in their bodies, and how well they can move and function in daily life. The results of this study will help healthcare providers better understand what PAD looks like in today's Canadian heart clinics. It will also help guide future research studies that focus on inflammation and PAD. The researchers believe that PAD patients can be routinely recruited from these clinics, and that most of these patients will have high levels of inflammation (shown by high blood CRP levels) and poor physical ability when they first join. The findings will show that there is a strong need to regularly check for PAD in heart clinics so that patients can be identified early and offered new treatments in the future and especially treatments that may help reduce inflammation.
