Scientific titleThe effect of myocardial ischaemia on pro-inflammatory cytokines and stress proteins: a randomised controlled study
Study objectivesAre the cytokines elevated during stress?
Ethics approval(s)Added 24 July 2008:
Approval granted by Hammersmith, Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea and Acton Hospital Research Ethics Committee.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardiovascular: Myocardial ischaemia
InterventionTreadmill Stress vs Pharmacological Stress (Dobutamine)
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Dobutamine
Primary outcome measure(s)

To assess the plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL6), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFa), tissue factor (TF) and heat shock protein 60 (hsp60). Two stress methods will be employed. While IL6 can also be increased with perpheral muscle stress produced by exercise, dobutamine could induce a smaller ischaemic burden. The two tests therefore will be performed in each patient in order to link cytokines to ischaemia alone.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

No secondary outcome measures
