Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Suffering From Schizophrenia
Coronary Artery Disease as a Cause of Morbidity and Mortality in Patients Suffering From Schizophrenia: Epidemiology and Status to Provide Prevention, Interventions and Treatment
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Little is known about severe progression of premature coronary arteriosclerosis in patients suffering from schizophrenia. Coronary artery calcium score is a well-defined measure to predict cardiovascular disease events, however there has not yet been any attempt to investigate whether there is an association between coronary artery calcium score and premature morbidity and mortality in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.
The objective of this study is to investigate the progression of arteriosclerosis in patients with schizophrenia at different stages of the disease, and to offer and implement adequate treatment for these patients according to their somatic condition. This study will identify risk factors of somatic diseases in these patients, with specific focus on early diagnoses, prevention, intervention and treatment of arteriosclerosis in schizophrenic patients.
The investigation is about the possibility of detecting any differences between developing arteriosclerosis in schizophrenia patients versus the general population, and how common risk factors are contributing to this process. The results of this study should provide important modifications in the clinical guidelines for treatment of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Debuting and chronic schizophrenia
ILLNESS HISTORY:
MEASURE OF SOCIAL CONDITIONS - For example Lubben Social Network Scale-6 and Brief Trauma Questionnaire. MEASURE OF PSYCHIATRIC CONDITION::
CARDIOVASCULAR MEASUREMENT: CT Coronary angiography (CT-CAG)
|
Existing psychiatric and somatic diagnosis and treatment.
Charlson co-morbidity Index.
A self-report questionnaire measuring social isolation, including relations to family and friends.
This method measures symptom severity, therapeutic response and general improvement, suicidal ideation, cognitive insight and awareness of illness and need for treatment and the ability to relabel symptoms.
This procedure is used to detect early identification of cardiovascular disease progression.

Active Comparator: Matched controls
CARDIOVASCULAR MEASUREMENT:
|
This procedure is used to detect early identification of cardiovascular disease progression.
