Conditions
Summary
About 20-30% of patients with angina have no obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary angiogram (NoCAD). Despite no significant obstructive coronary artery disease, most of these patients continue to experience recurrent chest pain without any definitive diagnosis. Comprehensive invasive coronary haemodynamic studies at the time of diagnostic coronary angiogram will provide important diagnostic and prognostic implications for the management of coronary vasomotor disorder, but routine assessment is difficult. The hyperaemic microvascular resistance (HMR) is a reliable but invasive measure to assess coronary microvascular function. The planned project will evaluate whether left ventricular contractile reserve (CR), measured with strain imaging on low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE), is a reliable non-invasive measure of coronary microvascular function.

Interventions
Patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease on invasive diagnostic coronary angiography will undergo comprehensive invasive coronary haemodynamic studies at the time of procedure to evaluate possible coronary vasomotor disorder leading to patient's symptoms. Haemodynamic studies will include the assessment of resting angiographic contrast flow, coronary microvascular hyperaemic function, coronary endothelial function and provocative coronary spasm testing. This comprehensive testing will add 30-45 minutes to the diagnostic coronary angiography procedure. The invasive parameters will be analysed and correlate with non-invasive assessment of contractile reserve obtained from low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography technique, pulse waveform analysis parameters and retinal artery changes.
