Clinical Trial Summary

A long-term evaluation of the impact of intensive diet and lifestyle intervention on coronary plaque dynamics in patients with coronary atherosclerosis diagnosed in computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

92 patients who completed the Dietary Intervention to Stop COronary Atherosclerosis in Computed Tomography study (DISCO-CT, NCT02571803) will be followed-up.

Description:

All patients who completed the Dietary Intervention to Stop COronary Atherosclerosis in Computed Tomography received dietary and lifestyle recommendations and were referred to outpatient specialist care at their place of residence.

As part of this study, patients will be invited for a follow-up visit consisting of a cardiological and dietician consultation and additional tests, including CCTA, to assess the long-term impact of the intervention on the progression of atherosclerotic plaques, including high-risk plaque component.

Additionally, the occurrence of cardiovascular events, change in laboratory parameters and change in body weight composition will be analyzed.
