Impact of Exercise Training on Ischemia With Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA): The ExINOCA Study
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Coronary Microvascular Disease, CMD
In brief
The purpose of the study is to identify causes of chest pain in patients experiencing chest pain with no signs of narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart, and to investigate whether physical exercise can improve coronary microvascular function. Hypotheses: The first hypothesis is that in INOCA, with reduced function of microvasculature of the heart, this reduced function also occurs in other organs of the body. The second hypothesis is that regular physical activity (aerobic exercise training) can improve coronary microvascular function, reduce symptoms, and that there is a parallel improvement in vascular function in other organs of the body.

You may qualify if…
- Coronary microvascular dysfunction, defined as myocardial bloodflow reserve (MBFR) < 2.5 or hyperemic myocar-dial blood flow (hMBF)<2.3 ml/g/min using [15O]H2O-PET
- No obstructive coronary artery disease
You may not qualify if…
