Ischemia in Patients With Non-obstructive Disease (INOCA) in Italy INOCA IT Multicenter Registry"

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiac Ischemia

• Registration Number: NCT05164640
• Lead Sponsor: IRCCS San Raffaele

Brief Summary

Prospective, interventional, multicentre, non-randomized, single-arm open-label study that aims to enroll 200 consecutive patients with suspected chronic ischemic heart disease in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) at clinically indicated coronary angiography in 3 Italian centers.

During coronary angiography, these patients will be simultaneously subjected to a functional and coronary physiology study (according to the methods reported below):

* Functional evaluation with fractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), Resting Full-Cycle Ratio (RFR) of angiographic stenosis\> 50%;

* In the presence of coronary angiographic stenosis \<50% or\> 50% but in the presence of a negative functional assessment (FFR\> 0.80 and iFR / RFR\> 0.90), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microvascular resistance (IMR) will be measured. IMR and CFR will be assessed using intra-coronary guidance;

* In the presence of CFR\> 2.0 and IMR \<25, tests with acetylcholine will also be performed in order to evaluate the possible presence of epicardial (focal or diffuse) or microvascular spasm.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
stratify in INOCA endotypes patients	1 day (during physiology tests)	2. to stratify in INOCA endotypes patients according to the presence or absence of alternative (i.e. non obstructive CAD) causes of myocardial ischemia detected during CA clinically indicated through physiology tests
investigate the prevalence of INOCA in women vs. men	3 year	1. To investigate the prevalence of INOCA in women vs. men who are referred for a clinically indicated coronary angiography in three Centers in North-ern, Central and Southern Italy;
implement a stratified therapy	1 year	3. to implement a stratified therapy in these patients considering the different INOCA endotypes and evaluate the impact on angina class and quality of life as well as cardiac hospitalization and coronary revascularization during 1 year follow up
