Analysis of Coronary Reactivity Testing With and Without Intracoronary Nitrate Testing
Baylor Research Institute
Summary
This single-arm, multi-center, prospective study will assess the coronary flow reserve (CFR), index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), and determinants thereof (transit time, Pa, Pd) in patients before and after intracoronary nitroglycerine.
Description
This will be a single arm, multi-center, prospective interventional study. We will approach, consent, and enroll patients referred to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for coronary angiography for the indication of angina without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD; lesions \<50%, fractional flow reserve (FFR) \>0.80, or non-hyperemic pressure index (RFR) \<0.89). Patients will undergo invasive assessment with CRT first without IC nitrates followed by a dose of 200-500 mcg of intracoronary nitrates and repeat CRT. Approximately 50 patients undergoing coronary angiography for evaluat…

Interventions
- Diagnostic TestCoronary reactivity testing with and without nitrates
CRT will be performed in the left and right coronary arteries. Measurements will be obtained in each of the coronaries first without intracoronary nitrates followed by a dose of 200-500 mcg of intracoronary nitrates and repeat measurements.
