The FLOW-PROMOTE Study is an investigator-initiated, Danish multicenter study of patients with stable chest pain investigating whether lipid lowering is associated with recovery of impaired coronary flow as assessed by CT derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT).
Multicenter study (4 centers in Denmark), including 120 patients with stable chest pain and hemodynamically significant coronary artery disease as assessed by FFRCT. By using two lipid lowering treatment strategies ("usual" vs "intensive" care) over 18 months, the effect on coronary plaque regression and flow recovery are assessed from repeated CT angiograms with plaque and FFRCT analyses at 9 and 18 months.

NOT_YET_RECRUITING18-month change in coronary flow
Coronary flow will be assessed by repetitive FFRCT assessments (0,9 and 18 months)
Time frame: 18 months
18-month change high risk coronary plaque volumes
Will be assessed by measuring low attenuation coronary plaque (LAP) volumes at repetitive CT angiograms (0,9, and 18 months)
Time frame: 18 months
18-month change in high risk coronary plaque features
Will be assessed by quantifying the proportion of lesions with positive remodeling at repetitive CT angiograms (0,9, and 18 months).
Time frame: 18-months
18-month change in coronary vessel volumes
Will be assessed by calculating the vessel volume relative to myocardial mass (V/M) ratio determined from repetitive CT angiograms (0,9, and 18 months).
Time frame: 18-months
18-month change in indices of coronary inflammation
Will be assessed by the pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) determined from repetitive CT angiograms (0,9, and 18 months).
Time frame: 18-months
