Intervention/exposure

Interventional
Query!
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Surgery - cardiac catheterization
Treatment: Surgery - coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Treatment: Surgery - percutaneous coronary intervention
Behaviour - Lifestyle
Treatment: Drugs - Medication
Active Comparator: Invasive Strategy (INV) - Routine invasive strategy with cardiac catheterization followed by revascularization plus optimal medical therapy.
Active Comparator: Conservative Strategy - Optimal medical therapy with cardiac catheterization and revascularization reserved for patients with acute coronary syndrome, ischemic heart failure, resuscitated cardiac arrest or refractory symptoms.
Treatment: Surgery: cardiac catheterization
Narrowed blood vessels can be opened without surgery using stents or can be bypassed with surgery. To determine which is the best approach for you the doctor needs to look at your blood vessels to see where the narrowings are and how much narrowing there is. This is done by a procedure known as a cardiac catheterization.
Treatment: Surgery: coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Artery narrowing is bypassed during surgery with a healthy artery or vein from another part of the body. This is known as coronary artery bypass grafting, or CABG (said, "cabbage"). The surgery creates new routes around narrowed and blocked heart arteries. This allows more blood flow to the heart.
Treatment: Surgery: percutaneous coronary intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention may be done as part of the cardiac catheterization procedure. With this procedure a small, hollow, mesh tube (stent) is inserted into the narrowed part of the artery. The stent pushes the plaque against the artery wall, and opens the vessel to allow better blood flow.
Behaviour: Lifestyle
diet, physical activity, smoking cessation
Treatment: Drugs: Medication
antiplatelet, statin, other lipid lowering, antihypertensive, and anti-ischemic medical therapies

This measure represents the estimated cumulative probability of experiencing the primary endpoint within the indicated timeframe in each treatment group. The interpretation of the measure is similar to Kaplan-Meier event rates. Estimates are expressed as percentages ranging from 0% (endpoint is certain not to occur) to 100% (endpoint is certain to occur).

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of the ISCHEMIA trial is to determine the best management strategy for
higher-risk patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). This is a multicenter
randomized controlled trial with 5179 randomized participants with moderate or severe
ischemia on stress testing. A blinded coronary computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) was
performed in most participants with eGFR =60 mL/min/1.73m2 to identify and exclude
participants with either significant unprotected left main disease (=50% stenosis) or those
without obstructive CAD (<50% stenosis in all major coronary arteries). Of 8518 participants
enrolled, those that had insufficient ischemia, ineligible anatomy demonstrated on CCTA or
another exclusion criterion, did not go on to randomization. Eligible participants were then
assigned at random to a routine invasive strategy (INV) with cardiac catheterization followed
by revascularization, if feasible, plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) or to a conservative
strategy (CON) of OMT, with cardiac catheterization and revascularization reserved for those
who fail OMT.
SPECIFIC AIMS
A. Primary Aim The primary aim of the ISCHEMIA trial is to determine whether an initial
invasive strategy of cardiac catheterization followed by optimal revascularization, if
feasible, in addition to OMT, will reduce the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular
death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or hospitalization for
unstable angina or heart failure in participants with SIHD and moderate or severe ischemia
over an average follow-up of approximately 3.5 years compared with an initial conservative
strategy of OMT alone with catheterization reserved for failure of OMT.
B. Secondary Aims Secondary aims are to determine whether an initial invasive strategy
compared to a conservative strategy will improve: 1) the composite of CV death or MI; 2)
angina symptoms and quality of life, as assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire; 3)
all-cause mortality; 4) net clinical benefit assessed by including stroke in the primary and
secondary composite endpoints; and 5) individual components of the composite endpoints.
