About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Usefulness of Multidetector Coronary CT in Vasospastic Angina

The purpose of this study is to compare the extent of coronary vessel stenosis between coronary spasm-induced angina attacks (named vasospastic angina, VSA) patients and health volunteers by multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA), and to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of MDCTA in patients with VSA.

Read the detailed description

Vasospastic angina (VSA) was characterized by transient ischemic ST-segment change during angina attacks. Coronary spasm provocation test, as a diagnostic golden standard, has been widely used for the management of VSA according to JCS 2013 guidelines.

With regard to the characteristics of spasm segment, had been clearly described by other invasive imaging methods including intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. However, there is potential risk during these invasive procedures, such as severe myocardial ischemia or fatal arrhythmia.

Presently available imaging test for coronary artery disease including multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) with high diagnostic accuracy to evaluate coronary artery stenosis. However, the diagnostic accuracy of MDCTA in patients with VSA is lacking.

Therefore, more efficient and safe noninvasive diagnostic method is required for the detection of angina-like attacks patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Positive CAG with EG testProcedure or surgery

    A positive finding for coronary angiography with an ergonovine provocation test is defined as transient, total, or sub-total occlusion (>90% stenosis) with signs/symptoms of myocardial ischemia (chest pain and ischemic ECG change).

  • Negative CAG with EG testProcedure or surgery

    Negative test: less than 70% luminal narrowing, without chest pain or ST-segment changes after ergonovine coronary injection

What is being measured

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

  1. Characteristics of coronary lesion

    1. Plaque composition: noncalcified plaque, which is < 130 Hounsfield units(HU). Calcified plaque with a density of > 130 HU. Mixed plaque: plaque area consisted of > 50% of non-calcified plaque.
    2. The remodeling index (RI) was calculated by dividing the cross-sectional lesion vessel-area by the reference vessel area.Positive remodeling was defined as RI > 1.05, otherwise RI ≤0.95.
    3. Significant stenosis is defined as stenosis in more than 50% of the coronary artery diameter.

    Measured: CAG will be performed after multidetector coronary CT, an expected average of 4 weeks.
