There is one clinical trial.
The aim of study is to examine the relationship between lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of the arterial wall in patients with premature coronary heart disease, to study genetic polymorphisms that determine lipid subfractions concentration on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in patients with early coronary heart disease, to study the effect of alirocumab and evolocumab on lipid subfractions, inflammation and structural-functional properties of arterial wall in patients with early coronary atherosclerosis and to study the influence of NOS-3 gene expression on the functional and morphological properties of the arterial vascular wall in the same patients. Impaired blood fat metabolism and chronic inflammation are intertwined as possible causes of atherosclerosis. Lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease and a prognostic predictor in patients after myocardial infarction, but recent research suggests that subtilisin-kexin convertase type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are the only drugs that significantly reduce serum Lp (a) concentration. However, there are no data on the relationship between Lp (a) values and polymorphisms for Lp (a), indicators of inflammation and impaired arterial function, and response to treatment with various PCSK9 inhibitors in patients with early coronary heart disease.
Among them, rs2070744, rs3918226 and rs1799983 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are important.
Description: Functional and morphological characteristics of arterial wall will correlate to Lp (a) concentrations.
Measure: Ultrasound functional and morphological properties of the arterial wall and Lp (a) concentration Time: BaselineDescription: The serum concentration of Lp (a) will correlate with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the LPA gene
Measure: Concentration of Lp (a) and SNP in the LPA gene Time: BaselineDescription: Both drugs will improve functional and morphological properties of arterial wall in with no difference between the drugs. We expect the improvements in each drug group will be in correlation with the decrease of Lp (a) concentration.
Measure: The effect of alirocumab or evolocumab on functional and morphological properties of arterial wall after 6 months Time: 6 months
