Evaluating long-term outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease
Imaging and Physiologic Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease: a Prospective Registry Study (IP-CAD)
This study is testing new imaging techniques and assessments to see if they can help doctors better understand and treat patients with coronary artery disease.

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.
Who should consider this trial
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.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years of age or pregnant women will not benefit from this study.
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 performed: Previous studies utilizing advanced imaging techniques in coronary artery disease have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is supported by existing evidence.
