Diagnostic and Clinical Management of Non-Obstructive Myocardial Ischemia in Patients With Long Covid-19 Syndrome and New Onset Chest Pain

Diagnostic and Clinical Management of Non-Obstructive Myocardial Ischemia in Patients With Long Covid-19 Syndrome and New Onset Chest Pain: the Long Covid-19 INOCA Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Long Covid-19 INOCA is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, sham-controlled, single center study. Its objective is to investigate the benefits of tailored medical therapy according to the results of the coronary functional testing (CFT) against the routine standard of care and the prevalence and endotypes of ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) in patients with long covid-19 syndrome (LCS) and new onset chest pain. All LCS patient with new onset of chest pain will be enrolled. Invasive coronary angiogram and epicardial physiological assessment will be performed to exclude significant epicardial coronary artery disease. Patients without significant epicardial coronary artery disease will undergo CFT which include Acetylcholine test and Coronary microvascular function test. Patients will be randomized into 2 groups: 1) tailored treatment group guided by the results of CFT (intervention) and 2) the routine standard of care group (sham). All patients will undergo the angina symptom and the quality-of-life (QoL) assessment at baseline, 3, and 12 months using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). In the sham group, patients and physicians will be blinded to the results of coronary functional testing for 3 months. Treatment of INOCA will be provided in both groups. The main hypothesis of the Long-Covid INOCA study states that, in LCS patients with chest pain, treatment guided by CFT will demonstrate better angina symptom control and improvement in quality of life (QoL) comparing to the routine standard of care.

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

Prior treatment

  • Previously been diagnosed with coronary artery disease
  • Any moderate to severe concomitant structural heart disease (e.g. moderate to severe valvular heart abnormalities, severe left ventricular hypertrophy)

Lab values

  • Severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF) \< 30%

Other

  • Severely reduced renal function (glomerular filtration rate \< 30 ml/min/1.73m2)

  • A life expectancy of less than 2 years

Who the study is looking for

  • \- All patients with the history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, either with acute infection confirmed by PCR or antigen testing, or with past infection demonstrated by serological testing, with symptoms suggestive of LCS such as post exertional malaise, persistent fatigue, difficulty concentrating or shortness of breath who present with typical angina or angina equivalent chest pain starting after SARS-CoV2 infection
