Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Study population: Current registry includes each patient in which coronary function tests are performed. The indication for coronary function tests is left to the descretion of the operator. The study population will be broader than the classic use of coronary function tests for angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA).
Who may be able to join
- Patient scheduled for coronary function test, comprising of intracoronary bolus thermodilution measurements of microvascular function, and/or intracoronary vasoreactivity tests with acetylcholine.
- Subject understands the study requirements and provides written informed consent.
Who cannot join
- Subject is participating in another investigational clinical trial that may cause non-compliance with the protocol or confound data interpretation.
- Subject intends to participate in another investigational clinical trial that may cause non-compliance with the protocol or confound data interpretation.

About this study
Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Registry on Coronary Function Tests, Organized by the Belgian Working Group on Coronary Microcirculation/Belgian Microcirculation Registry.
The goal of this prospective, multicenter registy is to describe the 'real-world' use of coronary function tests, which may consist of bolus thermodilution measurements of coronary microvascular function and/or invasive vasoreactivity tests with acetylcholine, in the current Belgian routine practice. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- how frequent are coronary function tests performed
- what is the indication for coronary function tests
- what is the frequency of coronary microvascular dysfunction
- what is the frequency of coronary artery vasospasm
From each participant, data will be collected from their medical files concerning cardiovascular risk factors, relevant past medical history, non-invasive tests, procedural data, and follow-up data from routine in-patient visits. Their are no specific study visits. Optionally, patients will be asked to fill in questionnaires about anginal symptoms and quality of life.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction and Coronary Artery Vasospasm, run by University Hospital, Antwerp at 13 sites in Belgium.
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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 13 sites in Belgium. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Frequency of coronary microvascular dysfunction and/or coronary artery vasospasm (time frame: 5 years). 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 18 Oct 2023.
