Symptomatic Carotid Outcomes Registry

Phase N/A

This study is looking at people with carotid stenosis, which is when blood vessels in the neck get narrower and can lead to a stroke. The study wants to see how safe and effective it is to use current medical treatments like statins (medicines to lower cholesterol) and newer blood pressure and blood-thinning medicines for treating this condition. Participants in this study will not receive any new treatments. Instead, their current medical care will be looked at to see if their chances of having a stroke are less than 5% in one year.

  • Participants need to be at least 40 years old with certain stroke risks and will have to complete surveys at the start, then again at 6 and 12 months.
  • All information collected will be kept safe in a special registry for research purposes.
  • There are specific health conditions that might prevent someone from joining, like heart issues or recent substance abuse.

Participants will not be paid or have to visit the clinic more than usual. This study is just observing regular care, not testing new treatments. Make sure to consider your health condition and the time commitment before joining.
