Brief Summary:
Among patients with stable ischemic heart disease who are referred for coronary angiography, a substantial proportion have non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Ischemia based on symptoms or stress testing may be due to coronary microvascular dysfunction in up to 40% of these patients. However, the mechanisms and optimal treatment of coronary microvascular dysfunction are unknown. Aberrant platelet activity and inflammation have been hypothesized as mechanisms of microvascular dysfunction. Investigators plan to evaluate association between platelet activity, inflammation, and coronary microvascular dysfunction in stable women referred for coronary angiography, and to identify non-invasive correlates of coronary microvascular dysfunction in these patients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Coronary Microvascular Disease Ischemic Heart Disease Myocardial Ischemia Drug: Bivalirudin Drug: Adenosine Drug: Heparin Device: Pressure-Temperature Sensor Guidewire Device: Guiding Catheter Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The objectives of this study are to

  1. Investigate platelet activity and inflammation in patients with and without coronary microvascular disease who are referred for coronary angiography for the evaluation of stable ischemic heart disease and are found to have non-obstructuve epicardial CAD
  2. To identify correlates of coronary microvascular dysfunction in non coronary microvascular beds that can be characterized in vivo.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Non-Obstructive CAD
After diagnostic coronary angiography, invasive measures of coronary microvascular physiology will be obtained. Blood will be collected for platelet activity, inflammation and isolation of coronary endothelial cells.
 Drug: Bivalirudin
After diagnostic catheterization, intravenous bivalirudin (Angiomax) will be administered as part of the research procedure, and a 6F-guiding catheter without side holes will be used to engage the ostium of the coronary artery.
Other Name: Angiomax

Drug: Adenosine
An intravenous infusion of adenosine (140 μg/kg/min) will be administered via a large peripheral or central vein to induce steady-state maximal hyperemia.
Other Name: Adenoscan

Drug: Heparin
Heparin may be used as an alternative to bivalirudin at the discretion of the interventional cardiologist.

Device: Pressure-Temperature Sensor Guidewire
Abbott's Pressure Wire X will be used to measure fractional flow reserve (FFR), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and Index of Microcirculatory Resistance (IMR) in the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) Artery and major epicardial coronary vessels associated with myocardial ischemia.
Other Name: Pressure Wire X

Device: Guiding Catheter
Medtronic's 6F Launcher Guide Catheter will be used to engage the left main coronary artery.
Other Name: 6F Launcher Guide Catheter
