Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are suspected of having ischemic heart disease and are undergoing invasive coronary angiography.

Probably not a fit

Patients under 18 years of age or pregnant women will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the long-term clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) who undergo invasive coronary angiography (ICA), intravascular imaging, or invasive physiologic assessment. It addresses the limitations of traditional ICA by incorporating advanced imaging techniques like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to provide detailed anatomical assessments. The study will also evaluate the functional significance of coronary lesions through invasive physiologic assessments such as fractional flow reserve (FFR). By comparing these methods, the study seeks to improve treatment planning and outcomes for patients with CAD.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies for patients with coronary artery disease.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies utilizing advanced imaging techniques in coronary artery disease have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is supported by existing evidence.
