About this trial

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

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Chronic coronary syndrome (including patients with anginal equivalents).

Indication to the assessment of microvascular function (note: patients will be asked for participation and consented prior to the first measurement of microvascular function, which will be conducted as per clinical indication)

Willingness to participate and ability to understand, read and sign the informed consent

Disqualifiers

Age <18 years

Bronchial asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

Secondary or tertiary atrioventricular block without prior pacemaker implantation

Previous CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) with patent grafts to the left anterior descending coronary
