Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the statistical difference in MBV between NOCAD patients and healthy controls. We compare MBV between groups at baseline, during hyperinsulinemia and during increased cardiac contraction. MBV is measured using MCE. Hyperinsulinemia is induced by a two hour HE-clamp and cardiac stress with increased contraction is induced by the infusion of dobutamine. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The insulin-mediated capillary recruitment (*MBV) is the difference in MBV at baseline and after HE-clamp. Insulin-resistance is calculated using the M-value of the last half hour of HE-clamp. 1. MBV, MBF, *MBV, baseline characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, questionnaire results, blood parameters and measurement indexes compared between males and females from the patient and control group. 2. Differences in MBV and MBF between baseline and after HE-clamp of the patient and control group and differences in MBV and MBF between baseline and after dobutamine stress of the patient and control group. 3. Baseline characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, questionnaire results and measurement indexes compared between the patient and control group. 4. MBV, MBF and *MBV compared between insulin resistant subjects and non-insulin resistant subjects. 5. Correlation between MBV (+other related variables) measured with MCE and MBV measured with CMR. 6. Protein expression and phosphorylation of microvascular endothelial cells compared between the patient and control group. | — |
