Implication of Cardiac Shock Wave Therapy on Coronary Artery Disease Patients

Coronary Artery Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Implication of Cardiac Shock Wave Therapy on Coronary Artery Disease Patients - An Observational Long-term Study

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

CAD is a challenging affliction which has a high annual morbidity rate in China and the world. Severe CAD may lead to compromised cardiac function, decreased exertional capacity and poor quality of life (QOL). The most common treatment for CAD is medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). However, some patients had long-term of history with complex severe artery lesions, they are not candidate for redo interventional therapy. Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) is an exploring therapy used globally for CAD patients, which is known for its safety, non-invasiveness and effectiveness.The previous RCT from the investigators' team has already finished, and results are in submission processing.

This is a prospective, single arm, observational study design. CAD patients will be enrolled consecutively. The entire treatment period will last 3 months with 9 sessions. Outcomes are assessed as efficacy outcomes and safety outcomes. Efficacy outcomes include symptom (CCS score, NYHA classification, nitroglycerin dosage, SAQ questionnaire), exertional capacity (6MWT), quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire) and imaging evaluation (myocardial perfusion imaging and echocardiography). Safety outcome include the change of serum TNT, CKMB, BNP and adverse event (AE) occurrence. The participants will be followed up at 13th week, 6th months and 12th months.

Clinical Trial Description

CAD is a challenging affliction which has a high annual morbidity rate in China and the world. Severe CAD may lead to compromised cardiac function, decreased exertional capacity and poor quality of life (QOL). The most common treatment for CAD is medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). However, some patients had long-term of history with complex severe artery lesions, they are not candidate for redo interventional therapy. Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) is an exploring therapy used globally for CAD patients, which is known for its safety, non-invasiveness and effectiveness. In the previous clinical studies, CSWT can alleviated angina symptom, improved myocardial ischemia and increased exertional capacity. Many single arm studies proved its efficacy and safety. Our RCT has already finished, and results are in submission processing.

This is a prospective, single arm, observational study design. CAD patients will be enrolled consecutively. The entire treatment period will last 3 months with 9 sessions. CSWT will be administered in the first week, follow by a 3-week non-treatment interval. Outcomes are assessed as efficacy outcomes and safety outcomes. Efficacy outcomes include symptom (CCS score, NYHA classification, nitroglycerin dosage, SAQ questionnaire), exertional capacity (6MWT), quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire) and imaging evaluation (myocardial perfusion imaging and echocardiography). Safety outcome include the change of serum TNT, CKMB, BNP and adverse event (AE) occurrence. Symptom, 6MWT and questionnaires will be evaluated at baseline and 13th week, 6th months, 12th months of CSWT. Imaging outcomes will be evaluated at baseline and 13th week, 12th months of CSWT. The level of TNT, CKMB and BNP will be tested before and 1st week after initiation of CSWT. ;
