Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Changes in HRV with mental stress

Changes in pre-ejection period (PEP) with mental stress

Planar late Heart to Mediastinal Ratio (MIBG imaging)

Secondary outcome measures

Changes in Peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) test to acute mental stress in CMD women.

Changes in flow mediated dilation (FMD test) to acute mental stress in CMD women.

Examine whether chronic stress burden and autonomic dysfunction during daily life is elevated in CMD women.

Other outcome measures

Assessment of general health status

Assessment of quality of life and relationship to anginal symptoms

Changes in catecholamines (norepinephrine and epinephrine) with mental stress among the three groups.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Symptomatic women with no obstructive CAD who have CMDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Symptomatic women with chest pain and no obstructive CAD who have an abnormal myocardial flow reserve (MFR < 2.5)

Group II: Symptomatic women with chronic obstructive CAD (oCAD)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

This group will serve as one comparison group since these women represent the prevailing paradigm of ischemia from obstructive stenosis while sharing common cardiovascular risk factors with the CMD group.

Group III: Asymptomatic control women with no prior history of CAD or anginaActive Control1 Intervention

Asymptomatic control women with no prior history of CAD or angina, who are age-matched to the CMD women; not on any cardiac medications, who will also have to pass a maximal Bruce protocol exercise treadmill test.
