Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging in Vasospastic Angina Korean Registry (NAVIGATOR) (NAVIGATOR)

August 3, 2020 updated by: Moo Hyun Kim, Dong-A University

Dual-acquisition of Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging in Vasospastic Angina Korean Registry

With regard to the characteristics of spasm segment, had been clearly described by other invasive imaging methods including intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. However, there is potential risk during these invasive procedures, such as severe myocardial ischemia or fatal arrhythmia.

Presently available imaging test for coronary artery disease in multi detector-row computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) evaluation has high diagnostic accuracy to evaluate coronary artery stenosis. However, previous report assessing imaging findings or diagnostic accuracy of MDCTA in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA) is lacking.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

Previously investigators analyzed the characteristics of coronary spasm segment in an observational individual dataset, suspected VSA patients (n=20) underwent dual-acquisition of MDCTA (initial and intravenous nitrate injected CT imaging), the diagnostic accuracy showed sensitivity: 73%, specificity: 100%, positive predictive value: 100%, and negative predictive value: 56%.

Further study is necessary because previous analysis presented limited sample size and deficiency of healthy control.

Therefore, investigators hypothesis that dual-acquisition of MDCTA in noninvasive tool for coronary assessment provide more information of coronary characteristics, and the diagnostic efficacy would be non-inferior as compared with the invasive coronary imaging modality in coronary spasm-induced angina attacks.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Spasm positive
Ergonovine-induced coronary spasm provocation test positive: defined as transient, total, or sub-total occlusion (>90% stenosis) of a coronary artery with symptoms of myocardial ischemia (angina pain and ischemic ECG change).

Investigators define the positive criteria for VSA on MDCTA as follows:

  1. Significant stenosis (≥ 50%) with negative remodeling but no definite evidence of plaques, which completely dilated on IV nitrate CT, or
  2. Diffuse small diameter (< 2mm) of a major coronary artery with beaded appearance which completely dilated on IV nitrate CT.
Placebo Comparator: Spasm negative
Suspected vasospastic angina subjects with negative ergonovine provocation test are considered as reference modality.
Suspected vasospastic angina subjects with negative MDCTA-derived VSA are considered as reference modality.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety and Tolerability
Time Frame: 3 days

MDCTA procedure: all subjects will undergo MDCTA without a vasodilator ("initial CT") in the early morning before the ergonovine provocation spasm test. Subsequent "IV nitrate CT" will be allowed at a 3-day washout period after the first contrast usage. The scan protocol for the IV nitrate CT is as follows: during continuous injection of the intravenous vasodilating agent (isosorbidedinitrate 2 mg/hr), blood pressure will be checked every 2 minutes. When both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure decrease by 10 mmHg in comparison to the initial value, the CT scan initiate and images will be acquired during the nitrate infusion.

Investigators define the positive criteria for VSA on MDCTA as follows:

  1. Significant stenosis (≥ 50%) with negative remodeling but no definite evidence of plaques, which completely dilated on IV nitrate CT, or
  2. Diffuse small diameter (< 2mm) of a major coronary artery with beaded appearance which completely dilated on IV nitrate CT.
3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Coronary vessel distensibility
Time Frame: 3 days
To evaluate the extent of coronary vessel distensibility by dual-acquisition of cardiac MDCTA in patients with VSA
3 days
Cutoff value of coronary vessel distensibility index
Time Frame: 3 days

To consider the cutoff value of coronary vessel distensibility index (CVDI) to predict the coronary spasm induced angina-like attacks.

Investigators define the CVDI as following formulas:

  1. CVDI-CSA (cross-section area)= [(CSA_IV nitrate - CSA_initial) / CSA_IV nitrate]ⅹ100% or
  2. CVDI-D (diameter)= [(D_IV nitrate - D_initial) / D_IV nitrate]ⅹ100%.
3 days
Incidence of multi-vessel spasm
Time Frame: 3 days
To examine the incidence of multi-vessel coronary spasm by MDCTA.
3 days
Diagnostic accuracy of MDCTA
Time Frame: 3 days
To determine the diagnostic accuracy of MDCTA modalities for detection of VSA.
3 days
Characteristics of spasm-related coronary artery segment
Time Frame: 3 days
To describe the characteristics of spasm-related coronary artery segment including vessel remodeling, plaque composition and stenosis degree.
