Impact of Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) Serum Levels on Index of Microcirculatory Resistance (IMR) in Patients Diagnosed With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
In Brief
An observational study evaluating pressure-temperature sensor guidewire-based measurement for STEMI - ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Microvascular Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 400 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite of dietary choline, L-carnitine, and phosphatidylcholine-rich foods. On the basis of experimental studies and patients with prevalent disease, elevated plasma TMAO may increase risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, to our knowledge, no data is available on its impact on coronary microcirculation.

Timeline
Interventions
In brief, a 6-F angioplasty guiding catheter without side-holes will be used first used to engage the left main coronary artery. A pressure-temperature sensor guidewire ( PressureWire™ X Guidewire) will be used for physiology measurements including IMR measurements. Pressure measurement from the wire was first equalized with that of the guiding catheter. Then the pressure sensor will be positioned two-thirds of the way down the LAD artery. Intracoronary nitroglycerin will be administered (100 to 200 μg). Hyperemia will be induced with adenosine intracoronary injections.
