Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effect of Danshen extract on levels of Lp-PLA, a biomarker linked to increased coronary artery disease risk, in patients with stable angina pectoris.
- It involves a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled design with 156 participants, who will either receive Danshen extract or placebo during hospitalization and then an open-label treatment after discharge.
- Primary outcomes include changes in serum Lp-PLA levels, while secondary outcomes focus on improvements in angina frequency and carotid intima-media thickness, with the potential to provide evidence for the benefits of Danshen extract in treating stable angina.
Objective: Several studies have confirmed high diagnostic performance of positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. However, whether the superior diagnostic accuracy could translate into improved mortality outcomes remains unknown. The aim of this study was to define the prognostic value of normal PET MPI.
