index of microcirculatory resistance
Brief summary
The evidence demonstrating the importance of coronary microcirculation in the management of patients with coronary artery disease is growing. For example, in recent years, a number of studies have demonstrated that the presence of coronary microvascular disease (CMVD) contributes to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality independent of the extent and severity of coronary epicardial disease. The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is an invasive index proposed for the diagnosis of CMVD. The ability of IMR to motivate therapeutic changes in order to subsequently reduce symptoms and improves the quality of life of our patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) was recently demonstrated. The prognostic value of IMR has also been shown in stable CAD with PCI. Thus, after optimal epicardial evaluation and if necessary revascularization according to FFR, IMR could represent a tool for personalized medicine adapted to the presence of severe CMVD. The aim of the study is to demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine on angina in patients with epicardial coronary network lesion assessment by FFR and with significant CMVD assessed by IMR.
Interventions

Intervention model description
Patients with a symptomatology of angina pectoris who have at least one epicardial lesion greater than or equal to 50% on coronary angiography evaluation The interventional group is defined by the disclosure of the IMR value. The initial IMR is used to guide therapy. The control group is defined as follows: the initial IMR has been performed but its result is not undisclosed (sham procedure) ; patients will receive standard medical treatment according to the physician's preference.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patient over 18 years * Symptomatology of angina pectoris * Receiving invasive coronary angiography * FFR and microcirculatory resistance index (MRI) measurement for at least one epicardial lesion ≥ 50% : * For lesions with FFR ≤ 0.8, revascularization with the XIENCE Sierra stent and its evolutions will be performed. Optimization of this epicardial revascularization will be evidenced by a post-PCI FFR \> 0.8 on all major trunks and if an FFR measurement is not performed, absence of 50% or greater stenosis on two orthogonal views by quantitative coronary angiography \[QCA\] at the revascularization site. * For lesions with FFR \> 0.8 revascularization will not be performed * Written informed consent
Exclusion criteria
* A non-coronary indication for coronary angiography, e.g. valve disease, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. * Severe renal dysfunction (GFR \< 30 ml/min) * Contraindications for adenosine: asthma, Second or third degree AV block without pacemaker or sick sinus syndrome, Systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg, Recent use of dipyridamole or drugs containing dipyridamole, Methyl xanthenes such as caffeine aminophylline or theobromine block the effect of adenosine and should be stored at least 12 hours before testing, Known hypersensitivity to adenosine. * Pregnant women, parturients and breastfeeding mothers * Persons of full age who are subject to a legal protection measure or who are unable to express their consent * Patient in a period of exclusion from another study * Patient under administrative or judicial supervision
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The mean difference in angina severity | One year | Assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire summary score) between patients with an IMR ≥ 25 in the interventional group, benefiting from personalized medicine, and patients with IMR ≥ 25 in the control group benefiting from standard care |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine guided by IMR assessment on physical limitation due to angina | At 6 months and 1 year | The physical limitation scale is assessed by question 1 of the Seattle Angina questionnaire and measures how daily activities are limited by symptoms of coronary disease. This question includes 9 sub-questions with 5 possible answers from the worse to the best. The analysis will be performed between : * IMR ≥ 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR ≥ 25 in the control group * IMR \< 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR \< 25 in the control group |
| To demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine guided by IMR assessment on frequency of angina | At 6 months and 1 year | The angina frequency scale is assessed by question 3 and 4 of the Seattle Angina questionaire. It measures the frequency of angina (question 3) and the need of nitroglycerin (question 4) For each question, there are 5 possible answers from the worse to the best. The analysis will be performed between : * IMR ≥ 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR ≥ 25 in the control group * IMR \< 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR \< 25 in the control group |
| To demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine guided by IMR assessment on perception of the disease. | At 6 months and 1 year | Perception of illness will be analyzed by questions 9-11 of the Seattle Angina questionnaire and characterizes the illness-related burden experienced by the patient. The analysis will be performed between : * IMR ≥ 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR ≥ 25 in the control group * IMR \< 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR \< 25 in the control group |
| To demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine guided by IMR assessment with satisfaction with the treatment. | At 6 months and 1 year | Satisfaction with the treatment is assessed by questions 5 to 8 of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire and quantifies patient's satisfaction with their current treatment. The analysis will be performed between : * IMR ≥ 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR ≥ 25 in the control group * IMR \< 25 in the interventional group versus patients with an IMR \< 25 in the control group |
| To demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine guided by IMR on assessment of dyspnea. | At 6 months and 1 year | The assessment of dyspnea will be evaluated by the Rose Dyspnea Scale, a 4-part questionnaire.

| To demonstrate a positive effect of personalized medicine guided by IMR assessment on stability of angina | At 6 months and 1 year | The angina stability scale is assessed by question 2 of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire and measures change in the frequency of angina at patient's most streneous level of activity. There are 5 possible answers from the worse to the best.
