RECOVER WITH INOCA: A Study of a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Ischemia With Nonobstructive Coronary Artery Disease (INOCA)
Spain24 participantsStarted 2024-09-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) improves functional capacity in adults with INOCA (ischemia with non obstructive coronary arteries). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does CRP improves maximal functional capacity (measured by VO2peak) in INOCA patients?
* Does CRP improve as well quality of life, adherence to Mediterranean diet, emotional state, functional independence angina episodes and sleep quality?
Researchers will compare CRP (treatment group) to standard recommendations (control group) to see if CRP works better for INOCA patients
Participants will:
Take part of CRP or standard recommendations for 3 months Visit the clinic in the beginning and in the end of the study for checkups and tests

Inclusion Criteria:
* All men or women \>18 years old with cath lab diagnosis of INOCA of 2 possible endotypes: vasoespasm or microvascular disease.
* All participants must have a mobile device/tablet/computer with internet access to connect to exercise and educational sessions
* Participants should be stable in terms of angina episodes, defined as the absence of hospitalizations or decompensations in the number of angina episodes, as well as no changes in antianginal medications for 3 months prior to inclusion.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Alarm signs in the stress test (ventricular arrhythmias, hypotensive response, ST segment changes, or symptoms of ischemia)
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<40%, or presence of pacemakers/defibrillators
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?

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?
