Brief summary

ORBITA-FIRE is a randomised, double-blinded, placebo controlled experimental study that will identify the fractional flow reserve (FFR) and non-hyperemic pressure ratio (NHPR) thresholds that correlate with symptoms of angina for 58 patients measured invasively under experimental conditions.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTRest-angina physiological assessment

The degree of stenosis required to cause angina at rest will be measured under double-blinded placebo controlled conditions using sequential intracoronary balloon inflations. This will then be correlated with various physiological indices, including FFR and NHPR.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTExercise-angina physiological assessment

The degree of stenosis required to cause angina during exercise will be measured under double-blinded placebo controlled conditions using sequential intracoronary balloon inflations. This will then be correlated with various physiological indices, including FFR and NHPR.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The FFR and NHPR value at which the patient experiences angina in a rest stateIntra-proceduralValues 0.00-1.00 (Lower = More significant disease)
The FFR and NHPR value at which the patient experiences angina in an exercise stateIntra-proceduralValues 0.00-1.00 (Lower = More significant disease)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Angina severity score at the angina thresholdIntra-proceduralThe patient scores the severity of the angina experienced during the procedure between 0-10 (Higher = More severe)
The FFR difference between the rest and exercise statesIntra-proceduralValues 0.00-1.00 (Lower = More significant disease)
Angina symptom type at the angina thresholdIntra-proceduralThe patient will list all symptoms experienced at the angina threshold
Angina similarity score at the angina thresholdIntra-proceduralThe patient scores the similarity of the angina experienced during the procedure against the angina experienced before the procedure between 0-10 (Higher = Most similar)
The NHPR difference between the rest and exercise statesIntra-proceduralValues 0.00-1.00 (Lower = More significant disease)
