VISION-INOCA Study for Ischemia and Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries

This study, called VISION-INOCA, is looking at people with Ischemia and Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA). This means you have symptoms of heart-related chest pain, but your main heart arteries are not blocked. Researchers want to understand how inflammation in your blood vessels (vascular endothelial profiles) is connected to your symptoms and how well you can do daily activities. You would undergo standard procedures like invasive coronary angiography and coronary function testing. Researchers will also collect endothelial cells from your coronary arteries and wear a Fitbit to track your physical activity and sleep. The study will measure changes in your angina (chest pain) and activity levels using questionnaires at the beginning and after one year. This study is open to adults aged 18 and older who are referred for a clinically indicated coronary angiography and have suspected INOCA.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll 250 participants. It is not a drug trial, but rather aims to understand the connections between vascular inflammation and health in INOCA.
What's involved
You would undergo invasive coronary angiography and coronary function testing as part of your standard medical care. Endothelial cells would be collected, and you would wear a Fitbit device. You would also complete questionnaires at the start of the study and again after one year.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for one year, with assessments at baseline and at the one-year mark.

  • Change in Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scoreBaseline, 1 year follow up

    The Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores range from 0 to 100 for all five domains (Physical Limitations, Angina Stability, Angina Frequency, Treatment Satisfaction, and Quality of Life), with higher scores indicating better health status, fewer limitations, and less frequent angina. A 10-point change in score is typically considered clinically significant.

  • Change in Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) scoreBaseline, 1 year follow up

    The DASI is a 12-item self-report questionnaire used to assess a patient's functional capacity. Scores range from 0 to 58.2, with higher scores indicating better functional capacity.
