Coronary Sinus Reducer Implantation in Patients With Ischaemia and Non-obstructed Coronary Arteries and Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction.

To demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the CS Reducer for the treatment of patients with ischaemia and non-obstructed coronary arteries (INOCA) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and through a nested mechanistic substudy investigate the physiological responses in the coronary microcirculation responsible for changes in myocardial perfusion.

Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance of Asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetics with Cardiovascular High Risk to Measure Empagliflozin Impact on Myocardial Blood Flow (CATCH-EM)

The study design is a double blinded randomised control trial study that aims to conduct a randomised controlled trial of empagliflozin and determine if empagliflozin will improve myocardial blood flow in asymptomatic high risk type 2 diabetic patients. Also, to determine a cut-off using maximum upslope ratio and myocardial perfusion reserve index in which patients would demonstrate an improvement in myocardial blood flow.

Study Comparing Two Administration Pathways for Adenosine During Microvascular Function Assessment

The aim of this study is to investigate the agreement and reproducibility between intravenous and intracoronary adenosine administration during invasive assessment of microvascular function. Goals of this study are: 1. Agreement and reproducibility between intravenous and intracoronary adenosine administration in the IMR (Index of microvascular resistance) value. 2. Agreement and reproducibility of FFR(fractional flow reserve), CFR (coronary flow reserve), MRR (microvascular resistance reserve), RRR (resistive reserve ratio) and reproducibility of each of these as compared with CFRabs (absolute coronary flow). 3. Time required for IMR measurements

Myocardial Ischemia Without Obstructive Coronary Stenoses

Coronary-related myocardial ischemia can result from obstructive epicardial stenosis or non-obstructive causes including coronary microcirculatory dysfunction and vasomotor disorders. This prospective study has been created in order to provide knowledge in the field of non-obstructive coronary artery disease.
