Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of Medical Therapy in Women and Men With Angina and Myocardial Bridging (NCT NCT04130438)

NCT ID: NCT04130438

Last Updated: 2025-02-25

Results Overview

Effectiveness of beta blockers and calcium channel blockers for reducing angina in patients with a Myocardial Bridge (MB) compared to placebo determined after 30 days on the study drug by a change in angina, as assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). The SAQ assesses 5 domains: physical limitation, angina stability angina frequency, treatment satisfaction, and quality of life. Each domain score is normalized to a range of 0 to 100, with higher scores corresponding to better outcomes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 30 days

Population: Participants with data at the respective time point

Changes in exercise capacity will be measured by difference in exercise time increment between the groups. The Duke treadmill score is calculated as exercise time × (5 × ST-segment deviation) - (4 × exercise angina), with 0 = no angina, 1 = non-limiting angina, and 2 = exercise-limiting angina. Possible scores range from -25 (highest risk) to +15 (lowest risk). Scores are reported by the number of participants in each risk category: low risk (≥+5), moderate risk (-10 to +4) and high risk (≤-11) (Shaw, et al, 1998).

Timeframe: 30 days

Population: Participants with data at 30 days

Patient self-reported side effects recorded in a diary to be turned in at 30 days. In addition, patients are requested to contact us regarding any serious side effects during the study. Finally, patients are asked about any side effects they experienced during their 30-day follow-up to ensure that symptoms are captured.
