About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether adding coronary function testing and starting targeted medical treatment for identified vasomotor disorders will also improve angina symptoms and quality of life in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does performing coronary function testing in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention lead to better relieve of angina symptoms and improvement in quality of life?
Researchers will compare this group undergoing coronary function testing with a control group who will solely undergo percutaneous coronary intervention.
Participants will:
* Undergo percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary function testing in the intervention arm * Undergo percutaneous coronary intervention in the control arm
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients >18 years of age
Hemodynamically relevant obstructive coronary artery disease (as assessed by pressure wire evaluation) in the left anterior descending coronary artery amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention at the discretion of the operator.
Disqualifiers
Prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Stenosis >90% in the target vessel or a stenosis deemed unsafe for pressure wire instrumentation
Known severe left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction by any imaging modality)
Severe valvular disease
