What this trial studies

This prospective, multicenter registry aims to document the real-world application of coronary function tests in Belgium, focusing on bolus thermodilution measurements and invasive vasoreactivity tests. It will assess the frequency of these tests, their indications, and the prevalence of coronary microvascular dysfunction and vasospasm among patients. Data will be collected from medical files, including cardiovascular risk factors and follow-up information, with optional questionnaires on symptoms and quality of life. The study does not require specific visits, making it a practical observational approach.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could enhance understanding of coronary function testing and improve patient management for those with coronary microvascular dysfunction and vasospasm.

How similar studies have gone: While similar observational studies have been conducted, this registry focuses specifically on the real-world application of coronary function tests in Belgium, making it a novel approach.
