The INROAD is an investigator-driven, prospective, study in which patients undergoing coronary sinus reducer implantation (Reducer) for chronic refractory angina undergo evaluation of the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) at the time of implantation, and at 4 months follow-up
Refractory angina (RA) is a chronic condition (present for at least 3 months) of moderate-severe symptoms (Canadian class Cardiovascular Society [CCS] II-IV) due to coronary artery disease which cannot be adequately controlled by the combination of optimal medical therapy and coronary revascularization. The clinical impact in terms of quality of life, re-hospitalization and socio-health costs is extremely negative. In this context, the therapeutic goals are primarily the management of the symptom and improvement the patient's quality of life. The unpaid therapeutic demand of these patients has brought out a large number of medical and interventional treatments, including the coronary sinus reduction system (REDUCER). Numerous clinical studies and registries have been carried out and they proved both the efficacy and safety in the use of REDUCER. The physiological mechanism that are supposed to be behind the antianginal effect of coronary sinus intervention are essentially two:

| IMR | Procedure | Patients undergoing coronary sinus reducer implantation (Reducer) undergo evaluation of the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) at the time of implantation, and at 4 months follow-up. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in IMR value | Significant Change (≥ 20%) in index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) value at 4 month follow-up as compared to baseline value (before Reducer implantation). The IMR is calculated by multiplying the distal coronary pressure by the mean transit time of a 3 ml bolus of saline at room temperature during coronary hyperaemia induced by intravenous adenosine. Normal values are usually reported as ≤25. | 4 month after Reducer implantation |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in angina severity according to the Seattle Angina Questionnaire | Change in angina severity according to the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) after Reducer implantation. The questionnaire is performed before the Reducer implantation and after 4 months. The scores on the SAQ angina frequency scale of 0-30 points indicate daily angina, 31-60 points indicate weekly angina, 61-99 points indicate monthly angina, and 100 points indicate no angina. Zero at SAQ indicate a worst clinical situation. |

| Change in Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina class a | Change in Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina class by two or more classes after Reducer implantation. The CCS evaluation is performed before the Reducer implantation and after 4 months. A CCS angina class I: ordinary activity such as walking or climbing stairs does not precipitate angina. CCS II : angina precipitated by emnotion, cold weather or meals and by walking up stairs-. CCS III: marked limitation of ordinary physical activity. CCS III indicate a worst clinical situation. | 4 month after Reducer implantation |
| Change in Beck depression inventory | Change in Beck depression inventory (BDI) scale after Reducer Implantation. The questionnaire is performed before the Reducer implantation and after 4 months. A BDI scores from 0 through 9 indicate no or minimal depression; scores from 10 through 18 indicate mild to moderate depression; scores from 19 through 29 indicate moderate to severe depression; and scores from 30 through 63 indicate severe depression.A BDI of 63 indicate a worst clinical situation. | 4 month after Reducer implantation |
| Change in CFR (coronary flow reserve) | Change in CFR (coronary flow reserve) value after Reducer Implantation. The CFR is performed before the Reducer implantation and after 4 month. CFR is defined as hyperemic coronary flow divided by resting flow and can be measured invasively in the catheterization laboratory with a cut-off of normality ≥ 2.0. | 4 month after Reducer implantation |
| Change in RRR (resistive reserve ratio) value | Change in RRR (resistive reserve ratio) value after Reducer implantation. The RRR is performed before Reducer implantation and after 4 month. RRR was calculated as the ratio between resting and hyperemic distal coronary pressure ([resting Tmn/hyperemic Tmn] × [resting Pd/ hyperemic Pd]); which can therefore be simplified as the relationship between CFR x [resting Pd/ hyperemic Pd]. Cut-off values of normality is > 3.5. | 4 month after Reducer implantation |
| Change in LVEDP (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure) | Change in LVEDP (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure) after Reducer implantation. LVEDP is performed before Reducer implantation and after 4 month. The LVEDP is measure 50 ms after the beginning of the QRS complex, usually coinciding with the R wave. The normal LVEDP cut-off is 15 mmHg. | 4 month after Reducer implantation |
