Abstract
Angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) is increasingly recognized and may affect nearly one-half of patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography for suspected ischemic heart disease. This working diagnosis encompasses coronary microvascular dysfunction, microvascular and epicardial spasm, myocardial bridging, and other occult coronary abnormalities. Patients with ANOCA often face a high burden of symptoms and may experience repeated presentations to multiple medical providers before receiving a diagnosis. Given the challenges of establishing a diagnosis, patients with ANOCA frequently experience invalidation and recidivism, possibly leading to anxiety and depression. Advances in scientific knowledge and diagnostic testing now allow for routine evaluation of ANOCA noninvasively and in the cardiac catheterization laboratory with coronary function testing (CFT). CFT includes diagnostic coronary angiography, assessment of coronary flow reserve and microcirculatory resistance, provocative testing for endothelial dysfunction and coronary vasospasm, and intravascular imaging for identification of myocardial bridging, with hemodynamic assessment as needed.

Dobutamine-induced alternations in cerebral blood flow of healthy adults: a 3D pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling study. BMC Med 2023; 21:238. [PMID: 37400817 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-023-02928-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether dobutamine, commonly used clinically in echocardiography and short-term congestive heart failure treatment for promoting increased myocardial contractility, affects brain microcirculatory behavior. Cerebral microcirculation plays an important role in ensuring adequate oxygen transport. Therefore, we investigated the effects of dobutamine on cerebral hemodynamics. METHODS Forty-eight healthy volunteers without cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease underwent MRI to obtain cerebral blood flow (CBF) maps using 3D pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling before and during the dobutamine stress test. Additionally, cerebrovascular morphology was obtained based on 3D-time-off-light (3D-TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Electrocardiogram, heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR), blood pressure, and blood oxygen were simultaneously recorded before and during dobutamine injection and during recovery (not during MRI). The anatomic features of the circle of Willis and the basilar artery (BA) diameter were assessed on MRA images by two radiologists with extensive neuroimaging experience. Binary logistic regression was used to test for the independent determinants of CBF changes. RESULTS HR, RR, systolic (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) significantly increased after dobutamine infusion. Blood oxygen levels remained similar. Compared to the CBF in the resting state, the CBF values exhibited significantly lower CBF levels in both grey matter and white matter. Furthermore, compared with the CBF in the resting state, that in the stress state was decreased in the anterior circulation, mainly in the frontal lobe (voxel level P < 0.001, pixel level P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that body mass index (BMI; odds ratio [OR] 5.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.60-21.01, P = 0.008], resting SBP (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.45-0.92, P = 0.014), and BA diameter (OR 11.04, 95% CI 1.05-116.53, P = 0.046) were significantly associated with frontal lobe CBF changes. CONCLUSIONS Dobutamine-induced stress significantly decreased CBF in the frontal lobe anterior circulation. Individuals with a high BMI and low SBP during the dobutamine stress test are more likely to have a stress-induced CBF decrease. Thus, attention should be paid to blood pressure, BMI, and cerebrovascular morphology of patients undergoing dobutamine stress echocardiography or those receiving intensive care or anesthesia.

Invasive assessment of myocardial bridging in patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease. EUROINTERVENTION 2021; 16:1070-1078.

Abstract
AIMS Angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) is common. A potential cause of angina in this patient population is a myocardial bridge (MB). We aimed to study the anatomical and haemodynamic characteristics of an MB in patients with ANOCA. METHODS AND RESULTS Using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), we identified 184 MBs in 154 patients. We evaluated MB length, arterial compression, and halo thickness. MB muscle index (MMI) was defined as MB length×halo thickness. Haemodynamic testing of the MB was performed using an intracoronary pressure/Doppler flow wire at rest and during dobutamine stress. We defined an abnormal diastolic fractional flow reserve (dFFR) as ≤0.76 during stress. The median MB length was 22.9 mm, arterial compression 30.9%, and halo thickness 0.5 mm. The median MMI was 12.1. Endothelial and microvascular dysfunction were present in 85.4% and 22.1%, respectively. At peak dobutamine stress, 94.2% of patients had a dFFR ≤0.76 within and/or distal to the MB. MMI was associated with an abnormal dFFR. CONCLUSIONS In select patients with ANOCA who have an MB by IVUS, the majority have evidence of a haemodynamically significant dFFR during dobutamine stress, suggesting the MB as being a cause of their angina. A comprehensive invasive assessment of such patients during coronary angiography provides important diagnostic information that can guide management.
