Bern Study on Brain Vessels Narrowed by Calcium Deposits
Summary description of the study
In our research project, we want to find out what the most important features of calcium deposits in the brain vessels and the surrounding brain tissue are, and how the health course of patients with narrowed brain vessels is.
(BASEC)
Intervention under investigation
Participation in this study lasts three years. Each year, a detailed clinical examination, a blood draw, an MRI of the head, and an ultrasound of the brain-supplying arteries are performed. During each clinical visit, two MRIs are conducted, one high-resolution and one lower-resolution. In the context of the lower-resolution MRI, contrast agent is administered. Only study-specific examinations are conducted for participants that are not already planned as part of the clinical routine for the respective patient.
