Filter by:Patients scheduled for elective coronary angiography due to chronic coronary syndrome are recruited at admission to hospital before the coronary anatomy is known. Immediately after coronary angiography measures thermo-dilution derived flow indices are obtained in the left left anterior descending artery (LAD). The patients are followed through telephone-calls and medical records at 1 and 2 years after inclusion and at completion of the study. The hypothesis is that elevated index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR),(>25) is associated with all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) and hospitalization due to congestive heart failure (CHF). The primary analysis is the relationship between IMR and the composite outcome all-cause death, MI and hospitalization due to CHF.
This study aims to evaluate the incidence of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and its prognostic implication for the improvement of left ventricular function in patients who have been diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) caused by non-ischemic etiology.
A prospective, multicenter, observational, single-arm trial to validate CardioFlux MCG's ability to diagnose myocardial ischemia caused by coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with suspected ischemia and confirmed no obstructive coronary artery disease (suspected INOCA) by using diagnostic measures of coronary flow reserve (CFR) via invasive angiography as a reference standard for diagnosis.
This study will be an observational registry to investigate the ability of magnetocardiography (MCG) in determining the presence of myocardial ischemia with the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease, by using an invasive reference standard coronary flow reserve (CFR) measured using thermodilution for diagnosis. Up to 200 participants in a 1:1 ratio of CMD positive to CMD negative will be enrolled. The device is a magnetocardiography (MCG) scanner named CardioFlux, which is paired with cloud processing software. A CardioFlux scan appointment shall last approximately 15 minutes in duration and include a patient questionnaire following the scan.
The MICRO-SNAPE registry will collect data from patients undergoing investigation of microvascular dysfunction and coronary spasm in Europe and North America.
Coronary microvascular disease (MVD) refers to exertional angina or myocardial ischemia caused by abnormal structure and/or function of precoronary arterioles and arterioles under the action of various pathogenic factors. The symptoms of patients with coronary microvascular disease are mainly exertion-related chest pain episodes. The basic and clinical researches of the traditional Chinese medicine compound Danshen dropping pills have found that it can improve vascular endothelial function and relieve angina pectoris, and it is widely used in clinical practice. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical study of Compound Danshen Dropping Pills and blank control in patients with microvascular angina pectoris. The experimental drug and control drug of this clinical trial were selected according to the ratio of 1:1 patients were enrolled in the pre-experiment. After the selected patients signed the informed consent, they were divided into a compound Danshen dripping pill treatment group and a placebo group according to a random, double-blind, placebo-controlled method. Dosage of Compound Danshen Dropping Pills or placebo: 20 capsules each time, 3 times a day, for a total of 6 months. Follow-up was performed every 2 months for a total of 6 months. Primary study endpoints is the difference of the left anterior descending coronary flow reserve (CFR) measured by ultrasound between the two groups compared with the baseline. Secondary study endpoint include the Number of angina attacks per week, the time of angina pectoris and the time of ischemic ST segment depression in exercise test.
Sex difference of coronary microvascular dysfunction evaluated by coronary flow reserve will be assessed in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease
- 40% of patients presenting with stable chest pain (angina) have no significant blockage of the main heart arteries. Identifying why these patients have symptoms will mean better treatment options can be developed. - About 60% of these patients have evidence of coronary microvascular disease (CMD). In this condition there is a problem with the heart's microvessels (very small blood vessels that branch from the main heart arteries). Due to problems with these vessels there is a mismatch between the blood supply to the heart and its oxygen consumption, causing chest pain and this can also lead to major heart events. - At present, to diagnose this condition, specialised techniques during an invasive test, called a coronary angiogram, are required. As this is an invasive test, it can be lead to complications and cause discomfort. - Non-invasive ways of diagnosing CMD are required to improve the diagnosis and management of this condition. - This study aims to provide initial data on whether novel imaging techniques using CT and MRI scans, which are much less invasive, could identify CMD. - To do this, patients with suspected angina referred for angiography and who are already participants in the main research study 'CMR versus CT-FFR in CAD' study will be recruited. - These will be patients with suspected CMD and also those with blockage of the main heart arteries (triple vessel disease) to compare against. - Participants in this pilot study will have additional tests used to diagnose CMD during their invasive angiography procedure. Participants will then have an MRI scan involving novel techniques and exercise MRI, where individuals exercise use a cycle or stepping machine during the MRI scan. Further analysis will also be undertaken of CT images acquired as part of the main study. - These tests will be compared against invasive test results to see which show potential in being able to diagnose CMD.
The SAMCRO is an all comers, prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label study with blinded adjudicated evaluation of outcomes (PROBE). The diagnosis of angina in non obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) will be confirmed with coronary artery angiography and with the invasive assessment of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and coronary vasomotion. At least 120 ANOCA patients with invasively confirmed CMD will be randomized to i) multi-domain lifestyle intervention (experimental arm) vs. ii) standard of care (control arm). All patients will undergo follow-up visits at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. The study endpoints will be the improvement of angina status and quality of life as assessed by validated questionnaires at one year. All participants in the multi-domain lifestyle group will receive five different kinds of intervention: i) dietary counselling, ii) strict management of cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic risk factors, iii) tailoring of medical therapy on the basis of the invasive assessment of CMD and coronary vasomotion, iv) exercise training and v) psychological intervention. Patients randomized to the control group will be managed according to current guidelines. The angina status will be assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Quality of life will be assessed using the EuroQoL (EQ5D-5L). Anxiety and depression will be assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
The purpose of this project is to provide appropriate administrative and technical supports for the warehousing and use of a database of patients with coronary microvascular disease (CMD). This protocol will outline the process for identification and capture of data, storage, as well as data use and sharing internally and externally for research purposes.
