Evaluation of Diagnostic Accuracy, Safety, and Cost-Effectiveness of the Non-Invasive Cardiolens FFR-CT Pro Method to Measure the Fractional Flow Reserve in Diagnostics of Chronic Coronary Syndromes Versus the Standard Diagnostic Modalities.

Plain-language summary
A multicentre, post-marketing, observational trial in 450 patients, whose standard diagnostic workup for chronic coronary syndromes provided for Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA). Medical records of a potential subject of the trial before their enrolment contain a good quality result of at least 128-slice CCTA performed up to 3 months before the elective ICA. CCTA should find at least one ≥50% stenosis in at least one big coronary artery of ≥ 2 mm diameter. At one hour before ICA in the latest the patient should have a resting Continuous Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (CNBP) taken with a certified device delivered by LifeFlow. The last criterion before including a patient in the final analysis is at least one significant (≥50%) stenosis in one or two coronary arteries of ≥ 2 mm diameter visually confirmed by ICA with a FFR measurement taken in these arteries.
The data collection period will cover time from admission for the elective ICA to discharge from the hospital (evaluation of possible adverse events related to invasive procedures).
After initial qualification of available data by the attending physician, selected patients will be asked for a consent to participation in the trial no later than upon admission for the elective ICA and before CNBP measurement.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
