Summary
Brief summary
This research study aims to recruit 82 patients following an admission for chest pain or heart attack. The patients will be randomised to Colchicine 0.5mg daily or placebo for 12 months. This study aims to see how Colchicine acts on the coronary plaque. This medication is currently used for inflammatory conditions such as gout. It has a broad anti-inflammatory effect and previous research has shown that Colchicine helps to reduce adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease.
