Evaluating coronary blood flow and resistance in patients with angina

Official title: A Study of Pressure Waveform Analysis in Coronary Artery-II

Run by National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch · NCT05672706 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if using a special medication during heart tests can help people with angina understand their heart's blood flow and resistance better, while also checking how well these tests predict future heart problems.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are patients with angina who are undergoing evaluation for ischemic heart disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe valvular heart disease, a history of asthma, or those with significantly low heart rates or blood pressure may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the feasibility of using intracoronary adenosine during evaluations of coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in patients experiencing angina. It will measure the repeatability of CFR and IMR assessments while hyperemia is induced by adenosine and evaluate the correlation between coronary waveform signals and physiological ischemia as defined by fractional flow reserve (FFR) and CFR. Participants will undergo these assessments in a catheterization laboratory, followed by a three-year clinical event follow-up to determine the predictive value of FFR, CFR, and IMR on major adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the understanding of coronary blood flow dynamics and enhance risk stratification for patients with ischemic heart disease.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is observational and builds on existing methodologies, similar studies have shown promise in assessing coronary flow dynamics, suggesting potential for success.
