About this study

Official title: Invasive Coronary Microcirculation Assessment in Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome

Abnormal coronary microvascular vasodilation has been demonstrated in patients with diabetes and metabolic syndrome, but the role of insulin resistance in its pathogenesis is not clear. The aim of this study is to invasively assess coronary microcirculation and to investigate the relationship of insulin resistance with coronary microvascular dysfunction.

A pressure temperature-sensor-tipped coronary wire will be advanced in coronary arteries without significant lumen reduction. Thermodilution-derived coronary flow reserve (CFR) will be calculated as resting mean transit time (Tmn) divided by hyperemic Tmn (obtained with a 5-min i.v. infusion of adenosine 140 mg/kg/min). An index of microvascular resistance (IMR) will be calculated as the distal coronary pressure at maximal hyperemia divided by the inverse of the hyperemic Tmn. FFR will be calculated by the ratio of Pd/Pa at maximal hyperemia. Insulin resistance (IR) will be assess by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index and plasma IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels will be measured in addition to routine blood examinations before the procedure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Coronary microcirculation assessmentOther

    Patients will arrive to the cardiac catheterization laboratory in a fasting state without discontinuation of their cardiac medications. After conventional diagnostic coronary angiography, 3000-5000 I.U. i.v. heparin will be administered, and a 6F coronary guiding catheter will be placed in the ostium of the coronary artery of interest. A 0.014" coronary pressure wire (Radi Medical Systems, Wilmington, Mass) will be calibrated, equalized to the guiding catheter pressure with the sensor positioned in the coronary ostium, and then advanced to the distal coronary artery (down to at least two thirds of the epicardial vessel length). Coronary flow reserve (CFR), fractional flow reserve (FFR) and the index of microvascular resistance (IMR) will be measured after an intravenous infusion of adenosine [140 ug/kg/min] to induce steady state maximal hyperemia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coronary microcirculation assessment in people with Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction and Metabolic Syndrome, run by S.M. Misericordia Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Coronary Flow Reserve and Index of Microvascular Resistance values (time frame: Outcome measures will be assessed at the end of the procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01014949, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jul 2010.
