TOPLINE:

In patients with angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA), routine ad hoc coronary function testing (CFT) during initial invasive angiography combined with a disease-specific treatment identified coronary vasomotor disorders and facilitated the management of angina and quality of life.

METHODOLOGY:

Researchers reported findings from a prospective trial conducted across five cardiac centers in the Netherlands and Germany to assess the clinical utility of routine ad hoc CFT in patients with ANOCA.

A total of 153 adults with ANOCA (median age, 64 years; 55% women) underwent CFT during their initial invasive coronary angiography.

Patients were randomly assigned either to an intervention group, wherein CFT results were disclosed and used to guide tailored treatment, or
