Detailed Description
Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in our society. It is initiated by the dysfunction of the lining of coronary arteries. Such endothelial dysfunction permits vascular wall inflammation, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and thrombosis, which progresses to coronary artery stenosis and occlusion, and manifests as myocardial ischemia and infarction. Endothelial injury can be due to the damaging effects of various cardiovascular risk factors and it can also be induced by balloon injury associated with coronary angioplasty. Damaged endothelium can be repaired via endogenous mechanisms, such as by the migration and proliferation of neighboring uninjured mature endothelial cells, or by the mobilization and homing of bone-marrow-derived circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).
There are several repair mechanisms that are now thought to involve circulating endothelial progenitor cells that are mobilized from the bone marrow and home to sites of endothelial injury. The researchers of this study hypothesize that aging is associated with reduced vascular injury induced endothelial progenitor cell activity, resulting in impaired vascular repair and increased coronary heart disease events. Patients with stable coronary artery disease will be enrolled in this study. They will undergo either angiography alone or angiography and angioplasty. Venous blood will be collected immediately prior to the procedure and 20-24 hours after the procedure. The number of endothelial progenitor cells will be assessed based on their ability to form colonies and also to migrate under the influence of certain growth factors. These values will be compared between both samples. Study participants will also be contacted at 6 months, and 2 and 5 years after their participation in the study. The clinical outcomes of the participant's coronary artery disease will be correlated with the number of endothelial progenitor cells.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Angiography
Patients undergoing coronary angiography without percutaneous coronary angioplasty
|
Angiography is an imaging technique to see coronary blood vessels.
|
Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty
Patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing angioplasty
|
This is a procedure by which the blood vessels of the heart are imaged with an insertion of a catheter in the groin and blocked arteries are opened.
