Overview

The aim of the study is to compare ESC recommendations on cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification with the achievement of a CAC (Coronary Artery Calcification).

The development of a CAC, currently not systematically offered to these patients to refine CV risk, could make it possible to offer more intensive management of CV risk facors for patients who objectively have a high CV risk as evidenced by a high coronary calcium score.

LDL target recommandations have become more aggressive with a very high level of evidence in type 2 diabetic patients but low in type 1 diabetic patients because there is no specific CV intervention study for T1D patients.

These recommendations have far-reaching consequences because they would justify introducing in young type 1 diabetic patients, considered from the outset to be at moderate cardiovascular risk (young T1DM <35 years old) or even at high cardiovascular risk (duration of diabetes > 10 years) or very high cardiovascular risk (duration of diabetes > 20 years), treatment with statins or even aspirin, based only on the length of time they have had diabetes.

The realization of a CAC, currently not systematically offered to these patients to refine CV risk, could make it possible to propose a more intensive management of CV risk factors for patients with objectively high CV risk attested by a high coronary calcium score.

In this case the introduction of treatment with statins would be indicated.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 35 years; Type 1 diabetic patient (defined by T1DM antibody positivity or onset in pediatric age); In primary cardiovascular prevention (with no CV events); Patient not treated by statins; Duration of diabetes > 5 years; Equipped with a continuous interstitial glucose measurement system for at least 14 days; No previous CAC performed Patient with social security or with third party coverage. Free subject, without guardianship or curatorship or subordination; Informed consent signed by the patient after clear and fair information about the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Cardiovascular secondary prevention patients (with a previous CV event); ECG abnormality suggestive of coronary ischemia; Intolerance or contraindication to statins Person benefiting from reinforced protection, namely minors, persons deprived of their liberty by a judicial or administrative decision, persons staying in a health or social establishment, adults under legal protection and finally patients in emergency situations; Pregnant and/or breastfeeding woman.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
