Olive Leaf Extracts in the Control of Cardiovascular Risk (Atherolive)

January 3, 2023 updated by: Pr. Semir Nouira, University of Monastir

Efficacy of a Treatment Based on Olive Leaf Extracts in the Control of Cardiovascular Risk Factors

This study will be carried out in 2 emergency departments (at the exit of the emergency room) and 2 external consultations (endocrinology of the CHU FB Monastir and diabetology consultation, Jemmal hospital).

Patients over 18 years of age with:

  1. Arterial hypertension (hypertension).
  2. Or diabetes.
  3. Or one or more other cardiovascular risk factors (AHA, ESC) or risk of cardiovascular disease> 20% according to the Framingham scale (apart from hypertension and diabetes were included.

Detailed Description

This study will be carried out in 2 emergency departments (at the exit of the emergency room, patients included in the GR2 study) and 2 external consultations (endocrinology of the CHU FB Monastir and diabetology consultation, Jemmal hospital).

All the population will benifit of a biological assessment which include:

  • Complete lipid profile, blood sugar, creatinine
  • HbA1c (if the patient is diabetic).
  • Inflammatory assessment: reactive protein C

Three populations will be randomized:

  1. The population of patients with hypertension.
  2. The population with diabetes.
  3. The population of patients with other risk factors with a Framingham> 20% In each study population, the patient will be assigned to one of two treatments (atherolive or placebo). The study drug (atherol) will be prescribed at a dose of 400 mg, once a day for 3 months. The placebo will be prescribed identically.

For patients in the hypertension group:

A blood pressure or glycemic holter will be carried out for 24 hours respectively and diabetics.

The raw data (hourly averages) are stored on a computer .

For diabetic patients:

Continuous blood glucose monitoring to measure indices of glycemic variability is performed at baseline. These patients will be equipped with an iPro continuous glycemic monitoring

For other patients (Framingham> 20%) For this group, the initial assessment will also include a specific assessment. Assessment of endothelial function by the digital plethysmography method to measure flow-mediated dilation (FMD or flow-mediated dilation expressed by the RHI) and specific biological assesement ( Willebrand factor, Homocystein )

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: atherolive group
In each study population, the patient will be assigned to one of two treatments (atherolive or placebo) using a computer-generated randomization list (1: 1 allocation). The investigator who has the randomization code is not involved in other study procedures and does not interact with participants. The study drug (atherol) will be prescribed at a dose of 400 mg, once a day for 3 months. The placebo will be prescribed identically.
