Synopsis Coronary hemodynamic testing frequently identifies abnormal pathophysiological parameters in patients with angina and non-obstructed coronaries on angiography (NoCAD) but the clinical utility of these measures has received limited attention. This study aims to identify the clinical and coronary hemodynamic determinants of recurrent chest pain at one month in patients with NoCAD. This week’s “MED FACT” discusses a clinical trial from International Journal of Cardiology, “Clinical and coronary haemodynamic determinants of recurrent chest pain in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease — A pilot study”.
Authors: Abdul R.Sheikh et. al. Key Takeaways An abnormal HMR was the only coronary hemodynamic parameter that was a determinant of ongoing angina Objective: To identify the clinical and coronary hemodynamic determinants of recurrent chest pain at one month in patients…
