About this study

Official title: Correlation Between Physiological Measures of Ischemia in the Hemodynamics Laboratory and Systemic Microcirculatory Parameters in Patients With Intermediate Lesions of the Main Coronary Arteries

The present study evaluates skin microvascular reactivity and coronary physiology in the same coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.

This study is expected to find associations between systemic microvascular reactivity, measured non-invasively at the skin surface, and coronary reserve evaluated by the invasive angiographic method.

Read the detailed description

Introduction: Microvascular reactivity (MR) evaluated in the skin has been proposed as representative of systemic endothelial function, including coronary circulation. There is a lack of studies investigating the association between skin MR and invasive evaluation of coronary reserve. Objective: To evaluate skin MR and coronary physiology in the same coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Methods: Transversal study, recruiting adult patients with indication for elective coronary angiographic study for the evaluation of CAD by an independent medical team. The evaluation of microvascular cutaneous blood flow of the forearm will use laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) coupled with acetylcholine iontophoresis. Coronary physiology will be evaluated in the same patients and in the same day with coronary angiography with lesion assessment by fractional flow reserve (FFR, after intracoronary adenosine administration) and contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR, after intracoronary contrast media administration), with measurements of hyperemic intravascular pressures. FFR and cFFR will be performed in vessels with intermediate lesions, as evaluated in quantitative angiography. Expected results: This study is expected to find associations between systemic MR, measured non-invasively at the skin surface, and coronary reserve evaluated by the invasive angiographic method.

What participants receive

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

  • Coronary angiography with physiological lesion assessment by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR).Diagnostic test

    Also called Evaluation of systemic skin microvascular endothelial function

    Hemodynamic invasive study employing FFR (after intracoronary adenosine administration) and cFFR (after intracoronary lopamidol contrast media administration) measurements of hyperemic intravascular pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR).

    Physiological coronary artery obstruction assessment through FFR and cFFR. For FFR and cFFR measurement, a 0.014FR guidewire will be advanced distal to the lesion, with baseline and hyperemic (after adenosine or contrast administration) vascular pressure measurements, with two-minute interval between each measurement.

    Measured: day 1 visit to the hemodynamic laboratory

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Systemic microvascular reactivity

    Laser-based method for evaluating non-invasive, operator-independent systemic microvascular function that detects microvascular flow in the skin for the evaluation of systemic vascular endothelial function.

    Measured: day 1 visit to the hemodynamic laboratory

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coronary angiography with physiological lesion assessment by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR). in people with Myocardial Ischemia, run by National Institute of Cardiology, Laranjeiras, Brazil at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 10 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 26 Mar 2024. 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 Brazil. 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?

Assessment by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR). (time frame: day 1 visit to the hemodynamic laboratory). 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 26 Mar 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
