These estimates are based on a number of robust observational studies, including the original Framingham study. While these methods apply reasonably well on a population level their application to the individual patients is not always straightforward. In addition, risk charts, such as those published by the Joint British Societies and American Heart Association, may underestimate risk in certain groups, notably diabetics and patients of Indo-Asian background, whilst overestimating risk in others (by as much as 50% in some studies).', 'detailedDescription': 'A number of variables including clinical, biochemical, and enzymatic have been evaluated to see if they add to conventional "risk-reduction" models such as Framingham and if so, to understand if they may be used in routine clinical practice.\n\nThe aim of this study is to assess several known and a few novel risk-factors (heart rate variability, pulse wave analysis, high-sensitivity CRP and BNP) prior to planned elective coronary angiography (cross-sectional analysis) and in a prospective cohort of high and low-risk patients.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'ARM-CAD 1: Patients attending elective coronary angiography ARM-CAD 2: Participants in ARM-CAD 1 plus volunteers with cardiac risk factors', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults (18 years or older)\n* Male or Female\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Acute coronary syndrome\n* Urgent angiography\n* Assessment would constitute harm to patient\n* Informed consent not obtained'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00403351', 'briefTitle': 'Alternative Risk Markers in Coronary Artery Disease (ARMCAD)', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Monash University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Correlation of Multiple Risk Factors With Presence and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CP-02/04'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'ARM-CAD 1', 'description': 'Cross-sectional analysis using coronary angiogram results'}, {'label': 'ARM-CAD 2', 'description': 'Prospective cohort for incident cardiovascular events and mortality'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '3128', 'city': 'Box Hill', 'state': 'Victoria', 'country': 'Australia', 'facility': 'Box Hill Hospital (Eastern Health)', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -37.81887, 'lon': 145.12545}}, {'city': 'Caulfield', 'state': 'Victoria', 'country': 'Australia', 'facility': 'Caulfield General Medical Centre', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -37.88251, 'lon': 145.02288}}, {'zip': '3076', 'city': 'Epping', 'state': 'Victoria', 'country': 'Australia', 'facility': 'Northern Hospital (Northern Health)', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -37.65, 'lon': 145.03333}}, {'zip': '3004', 'city': 'Melbourne', 'state': 'Victoria', 'country': 'Australia', 'facility': 'Alfred Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -37.814, 'lon': 144.96332}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Dipak Kotecha, MB ChB PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Monash University, Royal Brompton Hospital & University of Birmingham'}, {'name': 'David Eccleston, MBBS FRACP', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Monash University and Northern Hospital'}, {'name': 'Henry Krum, Professor', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Alfred Hospital / Monash University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Monash University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'IM Medical Ltd, Melbourne', 'class': 'UNKNOWN'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Senior Lecturer', 'investigatorFullName': 'Ingrid Hopper', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Monash University'}}}}
