Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the anti-inflammatory and anti-senescence effects of quercetin during coronary artery by-pass graft surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being informed about the study and the potential risk, all patients giving written informed consent will be randomized in a double-blind manner (participant and investigators) on 1:1 ratio to receive quercetin (500 mg twice daily) or placebo (twice daily) starting 2 days before a coronary artery by-pass graft surgery and for the duration of their hospitalization but up to 10 days (i.e. up to 7 days post-surgery). Blood (5 ml) will be collected the first morning after recruitment (t-1), 24h post-surgery (t1), day 4 post-surgery (t2) and day of hospital discharge for blood analyses. During the surgery, if a discarded segment of mammary artery is available, it will be collected for laboratory work. Health status will be assessed during the follow-up visit 8 to 12 weeks post-surgery.
