Summary

CE-MARC 2 is a randomised controlled trial to determine diagnosis and patient management in patients presenting to outpatient clinics with suspected stable angina. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (at 3Tesla) will be evaluated prospectively against current best clinical practice (defined by international guidelines). The study hypothesis is that 3Tesla CMR-guided management of patients with suspected stable angina is superior to current clinical practice based on 1) the principles of the National Institutes for Clinical Excellence (NICE) CG95 guidelines (2010); 2) SPECT AHA appropriateness criteria, in terms of avoiding study-defined unnecessary invasive coronary angiography.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patient ≥30yrs
  • Patient has suspected stable angina (CHD) that requires further investigation
  • Has a defined risk of 10-90% (according to NICE guidelines CG95; 2010)
  • Suitable for revascularisation if required
  • Given informed written consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Non-anginal chest pain
  • Clinically unstable
  • Previous MI or biomarker positive ACS
  • Previous revascularisation with coronary artery bypass surgery or PCI
  • Contraindication to CMR imaging (pacemaker, intra-orbital debris, intra-auricular implants, intracranial clips, severe claustrophobia)
  • Contraindication to adenosine infusion (regular adenosine antagonist medication, significant reversible airways disease, second or third degree atrio-ventricular heart block, sino-atrial disease)
  • Known adverse reaction to Adenosine or Gadolinium contrast agent
  • Obesity (where body girth exceeds scanner diameter)
  • Pregnancy or breast feeding
  • Inability to give informed consent
  • Known chronic renal failure (eGFR <30mL/min/1.73m2)
