Ischemia in Patients with Non- Obstructive Disease (INOCA) - a Local Prospective Registry (INOCA-Naples)
The present study has the following objectives: 1. To investigate the prevalence of INOCA in patients referring for a clinically indicated coronary angiography (CA) c/o Division of Cardiology - Federico II University Hospital; 2. To stratify in INOCA endotypes patients according to the presence or absence of alternative (i.e. non obstructive CAD) causes of myocardial ischemia detected during CA clinically indicated through physiology tests; 3. to implement a stratified therapy in these patients considering the different INOCA endotypes and evaluate the impact on angina class and quality of life as well as cardiac hospitalization and coronary revascularization during 5 year follow up
• Clinical presentation of chronic ischemic heart dis- ease (IHD), requiring coronary angiography for the diagnosis;
• Absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) at coronary angiography;
• Age \> 18 years.
• Ability to provide a valid informed consent to the study procedure at the time of baseline evaluation;
