Brief Summary

Multicenter FLOW-CMD registry is a prospective, multi-center, registry study. The aim of the study is to evaluate prognostic implications of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) undergoing revascularization decision using FFR or other non-hyperemic pressure ratios.

Study Arms (4)

Total Population: Patients with CMD (CFR<2.0 and IMR≥25)

Among the enrolled patients, those who are diagnosed with CMD (CFR\<2.0, IMR≥25) in physiologic assessment.

Diagnostic Test: Invasive physiologic assessment

Total Population: Patients with preserved microvascular function (CFR≥2.0 OR IMR<25)

Among the enrolled patients, those who are with preserved microvascular function (CFR≥2.0 OR IMR\<25) in physiologic assessment.

Diagnostic Test: Invasive physiologic assessment

Revascularized Population: Patients treated by intravascular imaging-guided PCI optimization

Among patients who received PCI, patients whose PCI was optimized through intravascular imaging device (IVUS or OCT).

Diagnostic Test: Invasive physiologic assessmentDiagnostic Test: Intravascular imaging

Revascularized Population: Patients treated by angiography-only guided PCI

Among patients who received PCI, patients whose PCI was optimized through angiography-only.

Diagnostic Test: Invasive physiologic assessment

Interventions

All coronary physiologic parameters are measured following diagnostic angiography. Resting pd/pa, FFR, CFR and IMR will be calculated using coronary physiologic parameters. In patients treated by PCI, post-PCI physiologic assessment including CFR, IMR, and FFR will be performed.

Intravascular imagingDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

By the operator's discretion, stent-optimization will be performed under intravascular imaging devices (IVUS \[Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts, USA\] or OCT \[Abbott Vascular\], St. Paul, MN, USA\]).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with suspected IHD undergoing invasive coronary angiography and clinically indicated physiological assessment will be eligible. A total of 1,003 patients will be enrolled at 7 centers in South Korea.

You may qualify if:

  • Subject must be ≥18 years
  • Patients suspected with IHD
  • Patients undergoing physiologic assessment (CFR, IMR, and FFR) for evaluation of severity of CAD
  • Subject is able to verbally confirm understandings of risks, benefits and treatment alternatives of receiving invasive physiologic or imaging evaluation and he/she or his/her legally authorized representative provides written informed consent to any study related procedure.

You may not qualify if:

  • Cardiogenic shock (systolic blood pressure \<90mmHg or requiring inotropics to maintain blood pressure \>90mmHg) or cardiac arrest
  • Non-cardiac co-morbid conditions are present with life expectancy \<2 year (per site investigator's medical judgment).
  • Inability to undergo physiologic assessment (CFR, IMR, and FFR)
  • Pregnant or lactating women
