Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effect of concentrated red beet tablets alone or in combination with vitamin C on cardiovascular function, respiratory function and improvement of clinical symptoms in patients with chronic coronary heart disease
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 90 patients. The online site (www.sealedenvelope.com) was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
The present study will be performed in Imam Reza Hospital and people who have the necessary criteria for entering the project in 1401-1400. Volunteers are randomly divided into three groups of drug and placebo recipients. 10 ml of intravenous blood sample is taken from each volunteer during fasting. Anthropometric, volumetric, echocardiographic and cardiovascular data are also collected. Questionnaires related to physical activity, 24-hour recall, quality of life and health will also be completed.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: age 30 to 65 years, men and women with chronic coronary artery disease, willingness to participate in research Exclusion criteria: body mass index above 30 kg / m2, chronic disease, acute heart accident in the past year, taking medication outside the treatment protocol, beet allergy, taking drugs containing nitrate, unwillingness to continue cooperation in research, not taking more than 10% of pills
Intervention groups
The intervention group includes the group receiving tablets containing concentrated red beets, the group receiving tablets containing concentrated red beets with vitamin C three daily for 6 weeks, and the control group receiving placebo tablets three daily for 6 weeks.
Main outcome variables
Flow Mediate Dilation, Pulse Wave Velocity, Augmentation Index, hs-C Reactive Protein, Interleukin-6, Intercellular adhesion molecule,vascular cell adhesion molecule

Sample size
Target sample size: 90
More than 1 sample in each individual
Number of samples in each individual: 30
Drug group: 30 men and women with coronary heart disease, each for 6 weeks, will receive three 1000 mg beetroot tablets daily, 30 men and women with coronary heart disease, each Which will receive three 1000 mg beetroot and vitamin C tablets daily for 6 weeks. Placebo group: 30 men and women with coronary heart disease will receive three placebo tablet each day for 6 weeks, which is very similar in appearance and volume to nitrate tablets.
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
To apply randomization, the permuted block randomization method with quadruple blocks will be used. According to the sample size of 90 that has been determined, 18 blocks of 5 will be produced using the online site (www.sealedenvelope.com). In order to apply concealment in the randomization process, unique codes will be used on the medicine boxes, and the desired code will also be generated by the online site. Concealed allocation is done using opaque envelopes, in packages, sealed and sequentially.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In order to apply blinding in the randomization process, unique codes will be used on the medicine boxes, and the desired code will also be produced by the online site. In the present study, participants, principle investigator , healthcare providers, outcome assessors will be blinded.
