About this trial

We will establish a cohort of 570 symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome patients undergoing 15O-water PET and assess their symptoms through repeated questionnaires. Two hundred patients with abnormal perfusion will be randomized to immediate or delayed referral to invasive coronary angiography with concomitant optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy with repeated 15O-water PET and questionnaires at 3 and 6 months. The primary objective is to compare the potential benefit of early invasive coronary angiography (ICA) versus guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) on symptomatic relief defined as freedom of angina after 3 months following a positive \[15O\]H2O cardiac PET/CT in patients with symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy

    Other intervention

    Consultation every second week with optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy according to 2019 ESC guidelines on chronic coronary syndrome. Focus will be on risk-factor modification and anti-anginal medication with the treatment aim to achieve freedom from angina and dyspnea with a heart rate at rest ≤ 60 beats/min and systolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg.

  • Immediate referral for invasive coronary angiography

    Diagnostic test

    Immediate referral for invasive coronary angiography

  • 3-months delayed referral for invasive coronary angiography

    Diagnostic test

    3-months delayed referral for invasive coronary angiography

  • Standard of care
