Effect of Olivomed (Olive Extract) on Endothelial, Cardiac and Vascular Function
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Olive extracts are considered to have antioxidant properties. The investigators will study the effect of olive extracts containing hydroxytyrosol on endothelial, cardiac and vascular function in patients with coronary artery disease .

Detailed Description
30 patients with stable angiographically documented coronary artery disease will be randomized to receive olive extracts with high concentration of hydroxytyrosol (10 mg po twice per day included in Olivomed capsules) or placebo for three months and then they will be switched off to the alternate treatment (placebo or Olivomed capsules) for another 3 months

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Olivomed effects on endothelial glycocalyx thickness. [three months]
Olivomed effects on endothelial glycocalyx thickness as assessed by perfused boundary region (PBR, micrometers) of the sublingual arterial microvessels using Sidestream Darkfield (SDF) imaging
- Olivomed effects on endothelial function. [three months]
Olivomed effects on endothelial function. Endothelial function is assessed by measuring Flow Mediated Vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery using ultrasonography. During FMD test, vasodilation occurs following an acute increase in blood flow, typically induced via circulatory arrest in the arm (supra-systolic cuff occlusion) for 5 minutes. FMD is the percent of increase of the brachial artery diameter during hyperemia after release of the occlusion.
- Olivomed effects on arterial stiffness [three months]
Olivomed effects on on arterial stiffness as assessed by carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV, m/s) using tonometry.
- Olivomed effects on coronary function. [three months]
Olivomed effects on coronary function as assessed by measuring coronary flow reserve of Left anterior descending artery. Coronary flow reserve is estimated by Doppler echocardiography as the ratio of coronary flow velocity after bolus intravenous adenosine infusion to coronary flow velocity at rest.
- Olivomed effects on left ventricular function. [three months]
Olivomed effects on left ventricular function as assessed by Global Longitudinal Strain using speckle tracking echocardiography.
