Trial summary

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction has been consistently shown to play a considerable role in pathophysiology of Ischaemia with non-obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA). While the both diagnoses are individually related to remarkably worse outcome, there is no available method to simultaneously determine INOCA-CMD… Read more about this study

About this study

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction has been consistently shown to play a considerable role in pathophysiology of Ischaemia with non-obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA). While the both diagnoses are individually related to remarkably worse outcome, there is no available method to simultaneously determine INOCA-CMD endotypes in vessel level, during the invasive diagnosis.

The investigators hereby hypothesize that, combined intracoronary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) (considering the high sensitivity and specificity of IC-ECG for studied vessel-territory) and intracoronary doppler can simultaneously and successfully identify vessel specific coronary microvascular dysfunction and resulting ischemia, which may potentially enable immediate diagnosis and endotyping of CMD-INOCA subgroups during the invasive assessment of first ANOCA episode, obviating the need for further ischemia-studies such es SPECT, which have considerably higher costs and lower sensitivity.

Major coronary arteries of patients aged between 18 - 75 without obstructing coronary artery disease who have previously documented ischemia with non-obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA) via coronary angiogram and myocardial perfusion scan will be evaluated simultaneously with IC-ECG and intracoronary Doppler during rest and under adenosine induced hyperaemia.

Performance of the combined system to identify Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction with structural and functional subgroups as defined by abnormal Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR) and Hyperemic Microvascular Resistance (HMR) and Ischemia in downstream territories of same vessel area (as defined by perfusion scan) is intended to be determined.

The investigators also intend to interrogate the possible relationship between dynamic changes in IC-ECG parameters and invasively obtained intracoronary hemodynamic data.

Background and Rationale of Study

Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction has been consistently shown to play a considerable role in pathophysiology of Ischaemia with non-obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA). While the both diagnoses are individually related to remarkably worse outcome, there is no available method to simultaneously determine INOCA-CMD endotypes in vessel level, during the invasive diagnosis.

Hypothesis

The investigators hereby hypothesize that, combined intracoronary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) (considering its high sensitivity for ischemia and specificity for studied vessel-territory) and intracoronary doppler can simultaneously and successfully identify vessel specific coronary microvascular dysfunction and resulting ischemia, which may potentially enable immediate diagnosis and endotyping of CMD-INOCA subgroups during the invasive assessment of first ANOCA episode, obviating the need for further ischemia-studies such as SPECT, which have considerably higher costs and lower sensitivity and requires more hospital visits.

Study Method

Major coronary arteries of patients aged between 18 - 75 without obstructing coronary artery disease who have previously documented ischaemia with non-obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA) via coronary angiogram and myocardial perfusion scan will be evaluated simultaneously with IC-ECG and intracoronary Doppler during rest and under adenosine induced hyperaemia after obtaining informed consent. Flow (APVr, APVh) data will be collected via intracoronary doppler during rest and adenosine induced hyperaemia in concordance with guidelines and Coronary Flow Reserve will be determined. Microvascular resistances (HMR, BMR) will be calculated with distal pressures and flow data.

Simultaneous with intracoronary Doppler, IC-ECG records will be obtained during rest and hyperaemia. Paper records will be digitized offline in MATLAB environment. Delta ST, Delta ST integral, Delta T, Delta T integral will be measured and calculated and quantified as continuous values.

All participants will be go through careful medical evaluation and presence of exclusion criteria will be assessed.

At the end of the data collection period, all available major coronary arteries are expected to have:

  1. Myocardial Perfusion Scan result: whether they relate to (supply blood) ischemic territory.
  2. Structural/Functional Microvascular Status: (CFR and HMR) -Definition of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction and Subgroups: CMD is defined as CFR < 2.5. Those with concomitant HMR > 1.9 will be further labeled as structural CMD whereas vessels with CFR <2.5 and HMR <1.9 will be labeled as functional CMD.
  3. IC-ECG parameters

What is being measured

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

  1. Hyperemic Microvascular Resistance (HMR)

    the ratio of mean distal coronary pressure to average flow velocity

    Measured: Intraprocedural during coronary angiography

  2. Coronary Flow Reserve (CFR)

    the ratio between coronary blood flow at maximal hyperemia and at baseline condition

    Measured: Intraprocedural during coronary angiography

  3. Delta ST

    absolute shift of ST segment in IC-ECG record (at J point)

    Measured: Intraprocedural during coronary angiography

  4. Delta ST Integral

    absolute change in area between ST segment and isoelectric line

    Measured: Intraprocedural during coronary angiography

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Resting Average Peak Velocity

    Measured: Intraprocedural during coronary angiography

  2. Hyperemic Average Peak Velocity

    Measured: Intraprocedural during coronary angiography

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 12 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 Mar 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Hyperemic Microvascular Resistance (HMR) (time frame: Intraprocedural during coronary angiography). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05471739, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 Mar 2023.
