Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Accurate and rapid assessment of the coronary microcirculation has become an important medical challenge. However, reliable and non-invasive quantitative methods to diagnose coronary microvascular disease (CMVD), select treatments for coronary artery disease (CAD), and therefore improve coronary microcirculation are lacking. Current detection methods have limitations. Therefore, we will assess whether a new detection method, the non-invasive index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), based on computed tomography (CT) perfusion and hydrodynamics (CT-IMR), can effectively evaluate the function of coronary microvessels. METHODS: We will conduct a multicenter, randomized, open-label study, including a Phase I single-center and Phase II multicenter trial, to assess the accuracy of the non-invasive CT-IMR coronary measurement of microcirculation function. The study will enroll 295 patients who will undergo coronary CT angiography (CCTA), dynamic CT-myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI), invasive coronary angiography (ICA), and invasive IMR. This study will identify the key influencing factors when calculating myocardial microcirculation perfusion and develop an accurate three-dimensional coronary reconstruction method and a non-invasive coronary IMR calculation method based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This will facilitate the development of a non-invasive system to detect and measure coronary microcirculation. CONCLUSION: The clinical trial for computed tomography myocardial perfusion based non-invasive index of microcirculatory resistance (MPBIMR) will establish the key influencing factors when calculating myocardial microcirculation perfusion and create a non-invasive CT-IMR calculation method based on CFD. This method may diagnose patients with simple coronary microvascular lesions and those with coronary microvascular lesions combined with coronary vascular lesions. AJTR
