Study to Investigate Effects of Antiischemic Drug Therapy in Silent

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

There is a lack of data on the prognostic importance of silent ischemia in totally asymptomatic subjects without history of coronary artery disease (CAD), and, particularly, on a possible benefit of medical therapy in such patients. SWISSI 1 therefore recruits totally asymptomatic subjects older than 40 years of age without any history of CAD but one cardiovascular risk factor with documented silent ischemia. Participants are randomized to open antianginal drug therapy and risk factor control versus only risk factor management and followed up for ≥ 10 years.

Clinical Trial Description

Although there is still controversy regarding why ischemic episodes are symptomatic in some patients and completely asymptomatic in others, it is now widely accepted that silent ischemia, like symptomatic episodes, negatively affects prognosis. Silent ischemia may occur in totally asymptomatic patients without (type I) or with a history (type II) of an ischemic cardiac event and coexists with symptomatic episodes in many patients (type III). However, there is a lack of data on the prognostic importance of silent ischemia in totally asymptomatic subjects without history of coronary artery disease (CAD), i.e. silent ischemia type I, and, particularly, on a possible benefit of medical therapy in such patients. Reasons lie in the difficulty to identify such patients and their expected low event rates implying that large patient populations and/or long follow-up periods would be necessary to come to definite conclusions. Still, to address this problem, we perform SWISSI 1 which includes totally asymptomatic subjects older than 40 years of age without any history of CAD but one cardiovascular risk factor with documented silent ischemia. They are randomized to open antianginal drug therapy and risk factor control versus only risk factor management and followed up for ≥ 10 years. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
