The coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) can be used to provide a binary assessment whether patients(with stable angina, unstable angina, suspected myocardial ischemia, or coronary artery stenosis of less than 50%, and without cardiomyopathy or obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease) have microcirculatory dysfunction, using a cutoff value of 25. This study aims to evaluate the binary classification performance of caIMR in two specific groups of patients: (1) those with caIMR values between 20 and 30, and (2) those with diffuse disease. We will do this by looking at differences in their Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores and their health outcomes over a three-year period.
The coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (caIMR) is a novel, non-invasive, imaging-based functional index for diagnosing coronary microvascular disease, which has been clinically validated for market release. It can be used to provide a binary assessment of whether patients with stable angina, unstable angina, suspected myocardial ischemia, or coronary artery stenosis of less than 50% (without cardiomyopathy or obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease) have microcirculatory dysfunction, using a cutoff value of 25. This trial is a prospective, multicenter, observational real-world study. We will regularly collect clinical diagnostic data (including angiographic images) patients who undergo caIMR measurement using the Coronary Artery Functional Measurement System and single-use pressure sensors as part of their routine medical care. After verifying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this trial. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the binary classification performance of caIMR by comparing patients' Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores before the procedure and at six months post-procedure in two specific groups of patients: : 1. Assessing the binary classification performance of caIMR in patients with values between 20 and 30. 2. Assessing the binary classification performance of caIMR in patients with diffuse disease. The secondary objective is to validate the prognostic value of caIMR in these two groups of patients based on the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over a three-year period.

caIMR will be measured by pressure sensors which are produced by Suzhou Rainmed Medical Technology Co., Ltd. caIMR is calculated based on angiography images and Hyperemic Pa estimated from resting Pa according to prespecified equation
Patients' Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores
The Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) is a rigorously validated disease-specific health status assessment tool widely used to evaluate symptoms, functional status, and quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Utilizing the SAQ as an endpoint in clinical trials ensures the scientific validity and comparability of study results, providing valuable insights for clinical practice.
Time frame: Before the procedure and six months post-procedure.
MACE (Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events)
It is defined as a composite endpoint including cardiovascular death, target vessel revascularization, myocardial infarction, rehospitalization for angina, heart failure, and stroke.
Time frame: At 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years post-procedure.
