About this study

Official title: The Proposed Study is to Validate a New Non-invasive Imaging Technique for Evaluation of Cardiac Microciculation in Coronary Artery Disease With a Comparison With Validated Technique Invasive, Which is Measure of Index of Myocardial Resistance

The proposed study is to validate a new non-invasive imaging technique for evaluation of cardiac microciculation in coronary artery disease with a comparison with validated technique invasive, which is measure of index of myocardial resistance.

Read the detailed description

Coronary microvascular dysfunction is closely associated with coronary artery disease, it is an independent risk factor and predicts future coronary events or clinically manifest disease up to 10 years later.

Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is a validated method to Assessment of the Coronary Microcirculation but this is an invasive technique.

In this study, we use a new mathematic technique from homogeneity analysis to provide precise, objective, automated quantification of perfusion heterogeneity at stress with new camera CZT SPECT. We compare the results with those of the measurement of IMR.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. coronary microcirculation

    IMR was measured with commercially available software (St Jude Medical Systems) and thermodilution technique on a non-ischemic artery SPECT. Injections of 3 mL of room-temperature saline were made down the coronary artery, and the resting mean transit time (Tmn) was measured. CFR was calculated as resting Tmn divided by hyperemic Tmn. FFR was calculated by the ratio of Pd/Pa at maximal hyperemia.IMR was defined as distal coronary pressure multiplied by the hyperemic mean transit time (mm Hg • seconds, or units [U]). Myocardial Heterogeneity Index (Hi) was measured by an automated analysis developed in our research unit. Hi was finally calculated from images SPECT using a Markovian analysis. For this study Hi is given by the equation: Hi = Σm [1/(1+m)2]Pd(m).

    Measured: day 0 (inclusion)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. scintigraphy

    An FFR value of 0.80 or less identifies ischemia-causing coronary stenoses. The global summed stress score (SSS) was calculated by adding the scores of the 17 segments in the stress and rest images, respectively. Scans were considered as normal when SSS was < 4.

    Measured: day 0 (inclusion)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing a new non-invasive imaging technique in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 21 May 2018. 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 France. 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 microcirculation (time frame: day 0 (inclusion)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 May 2018.
