Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this pilot study is to obtain a preliminary assessment of the effect of VK supplementation on cognitive performance and vascular function in adults with stable Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)

Detailed Description

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

The overall goal of this study is to obtain a preliminary assessment of the effect of a VK1 (phylloquinone) supplementation on cognitive performance (primary outcome) and vascular function (secondary outcome) in adults with stable CHD. Specifically, the investigators will conduct a double-blind, 2-armed, parallel-group intervention study in which 40 men and women aged 60 years and over with stable CHD will be randomly assigned to 0.5 mg phylloquinone per day or matching placebo for a period of 3 months. All participants will have signed a written consent form before taking part in the study
