Linking Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction and InfLammation in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes (CADILACS)
Linking Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction and InfLammation in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes: a Complex Puzzle to be Solved With Potential Therapeutic Implications (CADILACS Study)
Subclinical inflammation plays a critical role in all stages of the atherosclerotic process, from the initiation of the fatty streaks to the development of plaque instability and rupture, causing myocardial ischemia and acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
A few studies have suggested that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the inflammatory response are intimately linked. Accordingly, a relation between impaired cardiac autonomic tone and increased markers of inflammation has been reported in healthy subjects as well as in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, chronic coronary syndrome or decompensated heart failure.
To get insight in the controversial relationship between cardiac autonomic dysfunction and inflammation in patients with ACS both with and without obstructive CAD and assess the precise mechanisms and molecular pathways by which these two pathophysiological conditions mutually influence each other, to characterize their prognostic implications and identify possible targets for novel therapeutic strategies.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Partecipants with ACS and obstructive CAD
The study is to identify a difference in the correlation between HRV and CRP parameters in ACS patients with or without obstructive CAD
|
All partecipants will undergo a global echocardiographic evaluation, a 24-hour ECG Holter recording to assess HRV and blood samples collection for neurotransmitter measurements, platelet activation and reactivity evaluation and inflammatory profile assessment by proteomics analysis, inflammasome activity evaluation, NLRP3, pro-IL-18 and pro-IL-1β expression level by qPCR and epigenetic analysis.

Experimental: Partecipants with ACS without CAD, in a 1:1 ratio
Evaluate whether cardiac autonomic dysfunction is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation, inflammasome-dependent activation of IL-18 and IL-1β, and Th1/Treg frequency, in patients with ACS with or without obstructive CAD on angiography

---|---|---|
The correlation between HRV and CRP parameters in ACS patients with obstructive CAD
Time Frame: 12 months
|
The primary endpoint of the study is to identify a difference in the correlation between HRV and CRP parameters in ACS patients with or without obstructive CAD. This study will be performed through a detailed history and clinical evaluation based on transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) and 24-hour Holter ECG recording. |
12 months
|
The correlation between HRV and CRP parameters in ACS patients without obstructive CAD
Time Frame: 12 months
|
The study is important to identify the differences between HRV and CRP parameters ACS patients without obtructive CAD. It is important to group several exams: sample blood, transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) and 24-hour Holter ECG recording. |
