Design and rationale of the NetherLands registry of invasive Coronary vasomotor Function Testing (NL-CFT)

Background: Angina without angiographic evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) is a highly prevalent condition with insufficient pathophysiological knowledge and lack of evidence-based medical thera-pies. This affects ANOCA patients prognosis, their healthcare utilization and quality of life. In current guidelines, performing a coronary function test (CFT) is recommended to identify a specific vasomotor dysfunction endo-type. The NetherLands registry of invasive Coronary vasomotor Function testing (NL-CFT) has been designed to collect data on ANOCA patients undergoing CFT in the Netherlands.
