Effect of Olivomed (Olive Extract) on Endothelial, Cardiac and Vascular Function

Olive extracts are considered to have antioxidant properties. The investigators will study the effect of olive extracts containing hydroxytyrosol (HT)-olivomed and combination of Oleuropein (OL), Hydroxytyrosol (HT), Oleocanthal (OC) - olivomedSmart on endothelial, cardiac and vascular function in patients with coronary artery disease .

About this study

30 patients with stable angiographically documented coronary artery disease will be randomized to receive olive extracts with high concentration of hydroxytyrosol (5 mg po twice per day included in Olivomed capsules) or placebo for one month and then they will be switched off to the alternate treatment (placebo or Olivomed capsules) for another one month.

30 patients with stable angiographically documented coronary artery disease will be randomized to receive OlivomedSmart - olive extracts with Oleuropein (OL), Hydroxytyrosol (HT), Oleocanthal (OC) (OL:HT:OC 2:1:3) or placebo for one month and then they will be switched off to the alternate treatment (placebo or Olivomed capsules) for another one month.

the same quantity of hydroxytyrosol was contained in two supplements.

Treatment and study plan

Olivomed (capsules containing hydroxytyrosol)

Dietary Supplement

patients with stable coronary artery disease will be randomised to Olivomed or placebo for one month and then they will be crossed over to the alternate treatment for one month.

Other names: placebo soft capsules

OlivomedSmart - Capsules containing - combination of Oleuropein (OL), Hydroxytyrosol (HT), Oleocanthal (OC) - (OL:HT:OC 2:1:3), (5 mg HT bid).

Dietary Supplement

patients with stable coronary artery disease will be randomised to combination of OL, HT, OC or placebo for one month and then they will be crossed over to the alternate treatment for one month.

Other names: placebo soft capsules

Primary outcomes

  1. Olivomed and OlivomedSmart effects on endothelial glycocalyx thickness.

    Time frame: one month

    Olivomed and OlivomedSmart effects on endothelial glycocalyx thickness as assessed by perfused boundary region (PBR, micrometers) of the sublingual arterial microvessels using Sidestream Darkfield (SDF) imaging

  2. Olivomed and OlivomedSmart effects on endothelial function.

    Time frame: one month

    Olivomed and OlivomedSmarteffects 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.

  3. Olivomed and OlivomedSmart effects on arterial stiffness

    Time frame: one month

    Olivomed and OlivomedSmart effects on on arterial stiffness as assessed by carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV, m/s) using tonometry.

  4. Olivomed and OlivomedSmarteffects on coronary function.

    Time frame: one month

    Olivomed and OlivomedSmart 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.

  5. Olivomed and OlivomedSmart effects on left ventricular function.

    Time frame: one month

    Olivomed and OlivomedSmart effects on left ventricular function as assessed by Global Longitudinal Strain using speckle tracking echocardiography.
