ACS - Acute Coronary Syndrome
Conditions
Keywords
ACS, colchicine
Brief summary
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the multi-omics characteristics of the efficacy of colchicine treatment in patients with ACS and to construct a model of efficacy. The main questions the study aims to answer are \- Specific mechanisms of colchicine therapy in patients with ACS; Mechanism-based modelling to identify the population that benefits from colchicine treatment.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of responder | 6 months after enrolment | 1. Resolution of Inflammation: A reduction in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels to \<2.0 mg/L, or a decrease of ≥50% from baseline. 2. Clinical Stability: No occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke, or urgent revascularization. 3. Ventricular Remodeling: This is assessed by parameters such as ventricular volume, wall thickness, left ventricular mass, and LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction), measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) or echocardiography. |
| Number of Participants with Advances in Coronary Artery Physiology and Function | 1 year after enrolment | Comparing the change in coronary QFR at baseline and one-year follow-up, the sum of QFR of the three major coronary vessels (anterior descending, circumflex, and right coronary artery) was calculated (3V-QFR), and progression in coronary physiology was defined when 3V-QFR minus baseline 3V-QFR at follow-up was ≤ -0.05 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of MACE within one year | 1 year after enrolment | MACE defined as: death (cardiac or non-cardiac), acute myocardial infarction, stroke, ischaemia-driven haemodialysis |
