Health Care Problem ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Three Major Research Questions 1. An algorithm of coronary imaging – leading to CVD risk reclassification in >50% – followed by tailored cardiovascular risk factor management will reduce cardiovascular events compared to ‘care as usual’ in subjects at intermediate CVD risk; 2. Added to traditional risk factors, measurement of coronary atherosclerosis and assessment of novel biomarkers by a systems biology approach (proteomics, metabolomics and genomics) will be able to distinguish high- from low-risk subjects; 3. Such an integrated systems biology approach will identify disease-causing mechanisms responsible for the presence and extent of coronary atherosclerosis and the occurrence of new cardiovascular events.
Research Plan ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],12.000 healthy men and women at intermediate CV risk (SCORE) >100 ≤ 100 Randomisation in two groups Clinical outcome Statin 40 mg Coronary Calcium Score and CTA Usual care >400 Statin 40 mg ACE 4 mg ASA 80 mg 1 2 3 4 6 5
Translation plasm PBMC granulocytes biobank Nested case-control study (3*250)  to determine  risk profile using systems biology approach  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Proteomics -  Validation of known bloodcel and plasm markers ,[object Object],[object Object]
Focus Areas Dutch Heart Foundation Gender  Our study will determine gender-specific risk factors, disease mechanisms and clinical CVD presentations in about 6.000 women (and the same number of men) between 55 and 70 years of age and will thus be able to relate gender-specific patho-physiological processes and their clinical impact. Healthy aging Elderly men and women at intermediate CVD risk constitute the majority of Dutch subjects. The results of our research will have direct and immediate bearing on clinical practice and subsequent management of these persons. Prevention No comments needed: goes without saying
In perspectief (persoonlijk) Het kostte twee jaar om het onderzoeksvoorstel te formuleren. Sinds februari (eerste bijeenkomst CVON) sterke impuls ontstaan voor de benodigde (en door de Gezondheidsraad vereiste) Nederlandse  samenwerking. Als klinisch onderzoeker enorm onder de indruk geraakt van enthousiasme, kennis en kunde van de overige disciplines (“Omics” en ook huisartsen) binnen het huidige consortium. Ten aanzien van Europa / Kaderprogramma: relatief eenvoudig om tot een mono-disciplinair onderzoeksvoorstel te komen (is ook gebeurd), maar opzetten van translationeel onderzoek moeilijker. Samenwerking met de USA (NHBLI, RCT) is onderwerp van discussie
Waar staan we na afloop van dit onderzoek: De invloed van de meting van de kalkscore op de prognose en de betekenis van biologische factoren bij ontstaan en progressie van hart- en vaatziekten bij mannen en vrouwen zijn bekend. De identificatie van individuen met een hoog risico op HVZ is sterk verbeterd waardoor preventieve maatregelen op maat (direct) geeffectueerd kunnen worden (“will change clinical practice”). Tot slot…
