sST2 Biomarker Level in Acute/Chronic Coronary Syndrome After Revascularization
Egypt100 participantsStarted 2022-03-01
Plain-language summary
The role of soluble circulating suppression of tumorigenicity 2 biomarker (sST2) in the ischemic heart disease patient is a debatable point. Therefore the aims of this study are to assess the plasma level of sST2 in ischemic heart disease patients versus non-ischemic ones, the acute changes in its level after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its relation to the severity of ischemia.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Any patients aged 40 years or more and have the risk factors of ischemic heart disease (IHD) with coronary artery disease symptoms will be included.
* For control subjects should be aged ≥ 40 years old with IHD risk factors including DM and HTN and without any symptoms or signs of cardiac ischemia.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Any patient with heart failure (EF \<50%), any patients with rhythm abnormalities including atrial fibrillation, obese patients, structural heart diseases, uncontrolled chronic diseases such as hypertension or diabetes mellitus, any pulmonary artery or parenchymal diseases up to respiratory failure, acute systemic infection or inflammation, and chronic/acute renal diseases.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
