Coronary Microvascular Function and CT Coronary Angiography (CorCTCA)

Angina in Patients Without Obstructive Coronary Disease as Revealed by CT Coronary Angiography (Cor-CTCA): an Observational Cohort Study Involving Coronary Function Tests and a Nested Randomised Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Oct 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Angina in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is a clinical conundrum and patient management is heterogeneous. Hypothesis: Abnormal coronary function is common and clinically relevant in this population. Design: An observational cohort study and nested randomised controlled diagnostic strategy trial. Methods: 250 patients with known or suspected angina informed by validated questionnaires but without obstructive CAD (\<70% stenosis) in an artery \>=2.5 mm or structural heart disease, as revealed by CT coronary angiography (CTCA), will be invited to undergo coronary function testing (FFR, CFR, IMR; intra-coronary ACh) during invasive angiography. Patients will be randomised following angiography but before testing coronary function to disclosure of the coronary function test results or not. Treatment decisions by the attending cardiologist will be recorded before and after disclosure of results. Outcomes: Primary: The between-group difference in the reclassification rate of the initial diagnosis using logistic regression, adjusted for baseline factors associated with the likelihood of reclassification of the initial diagnosis. Secondary: Prevalence of microvascular or vasospastic angina; health status reflected by the EuroQol group 5-Dimensions (EQ-5D), Seattle Angina Questionnaire, Illness perception, treatment satisfaction questionnaires and functional status questionnaires; angina medication and adherence. Value: This research will provide new insights into the conundrum of angina in patients without obstructive CAD or structural heart disease.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • A health problem that would explain the angina, e.g. anaemia, moderate-severe aortic stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
  • Obstructive disease evident in a coronary artery (diameter \>2.5 mm), i.e. \>50 - 70% circumferential plaque extending for ≥2 coronary segments, or a stenosis\>70% as revealed by CT coronary angiography
  • Flow-limiting coronary disease defined by a fractional flow reserve (FFR) ≤0.80 in an artery\>2.5 mm.

Lab values

  • Lack of informed consent.
    • Exclusion from randomisation in the catheter laboratory:

Who the study is looking for

  • Symptoms of angina or angina-equivalent informed by the Rose Angina questionnaire.
  • Intermediate or no obstructive coronary disease i.e. no coronary stenosis \>70% in an artery \>2.5 mm, as revealed by CT coronary angiography.
