Recruiting studies
- NCT04194138Recruiting
Surgery planning study for complex adult spine curvatures
This trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04347200Recruiting
Long-term blood-thinner therapy registry for heart disease
This study follows people with known coronary artery disease to understand how long-term “blood thinner” treatments are used and how they affect health over time. You may be asked to share medical information and come in for follow-up to help researchers compare outcomes.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT04417387Recruiting
Check genetics to improve heart disease risk prediction
This study looks at whether adding genetic information to a standard NHS Health Check can better predict a person’s risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). If you qualify, you may be asked to provide genetic information to help refine future risk estimates.
LeicesterAges 40–74 - NCT04885244Recruiting
Minimally invasive surgery for adult spine bending and misalignment
This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366153Recruiting
Plan to lower future heart attack risk after past cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a “risk-guided” care plan can help prevent coronary artery disease (the buildup that can lead to heart attacks) in people who had cancer treatment that can affect the heart. You may get closer heart risk monitoring and guidance to reduce risk factors, such as cholesterol—especially if you can safely take statins.
Hobart, TasmaniaAges 40–70 - NCT05509010Recruiting
AI registry using CT scan to assess coronary artery disease
This trial builds and tests an AI system using information from a heart CT scan to help evaluate coronary artery disease (clogged heart arteries). If you need a CT coronary angiography for medical reasons, this may help improve how such scans are analyzed and used in care.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT05529459Recruiting
Guidance method for opening heart blockages with stents
This study compares two ways of deciding how completely to open blocked heart arteries using drug-eluting stents. It aims to see which guidance approach improves results and safety for people with coronary artery disease who need a PCI (heart catheter procedure).
AnyangAges 19 years+ - NCT05617599Recruiting
Checks safety of a stent used in complex heart artery disease
This study looks at how safe and effective a specific stent (SUPRAFLEX CRUZ) is when used in real-world care for people with heart artery blockages in more than one artery. Some participants will also be selected if their heart pumping strength is reduced.
Elche, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT05775445Recruiting
People with very blocked or very normal coronary arteries
This study compares people with very severe coronary artery disease to those without significant disease, using heart imaging data. It aims to understand what differs between extreme cases and how that information could guide future care.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT05860400Recruiting
Testing add-on treatment to calm artery inflammation after heart procedures
This study looks at whether a comprehensive add-on treatment—starting with immune medicine and then a heart procedure when needed—can improve outcomes for people whose coronary artery disease is getting worse quickly. It focuses on cases where inflammation is likely driving new artery blockages or worsening chest pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06007248Recruiting
Study of inflammation-related coronary artery disease
This study compares two types of coronary artery disease: one linked to inflammation (IR-CAD) and the standard type (AS-CAD). If you have had a heart procedure and were recently hospitalized for worsening chest pain, this study may help doctors understand your condition better.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45–64 - NCT06092346Recruiting
Understanding rare purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorders
This study aims to learn more about rare disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (DPPM), which can affect the brain, immune system, kidneys, and muscles. Researchers will study people with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to better understand the condition over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT06179212Recruiting
Comparing exercise tests for men and women with heart disease
This study compares two different exercise test methods to see which works better for men and women with heart disease. The goal is to find a test that can help doctors design better exercise programs for you.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06182683Recruiting
OCT-Guided vs. FFR-Guided Stent Placement in Heart Disease
This trial compares two imaging and pressure tests used during stent placement to see which helps improve blood flow better in people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06112418Recruiting
Personalized vs standard care to prevent heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 55 years+ - NCT06327984Recruiting
Sex hormones and inflammation in heart disease
This study looks at how sex hormones and inflammation affect chest pain and heart disease. It aims to improve care for people with coronary artery disease.
LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT07596706Recruiting
Comparing two stent techniques for left main branch blockages
This trial compares two ways of placing a stent at the point where the main left artery splits into two branches. It is for people who have a blockage in the very beginning of one of those branches, and it uses advanced drug-eluting stents to see which method works better.
Istanbul, Please SelectAges 18–85 - NCT06489119Recruiting
Studying plaque types in coronary artery disease with advanced imaging
This trial uses advanced imaging (OCT) and single-cell analysis to study different types of plaque in people with coronary artery disease. It aims to understand how these plaque types differ at a cellular level, which could lead to better treatments.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 18–85 - NCT06541132Recruiting
Liver fat and heart artery narrowing study
This study looks at whether the amount of fat in your liver, seen on an ultrasound, is linked to the severity of narrowing in your heart arteries. If you had a heart catheterization (angiography) and an abdominal ultrasound, your data may help researchers understand this connection.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06559332Recruiting
Heart artery checks during aortic valve replacement
This study tests different ways to check for blocked heart arteries in patients getting a new aortic valve through a tube in the leg. It aims to find the best approach to guide treatment.
BernAges 70 years+ - NCT06567626Recruiting
Decision aid for heart artery treatment choices
This study is testing a new tool to help patients and doctors decide together on the best procedure (like stents or bypass surgery) for blocked heart arteries. It aims to make the decision process clearer and more personalized.
LeicesterAges Any age - NCT06601153Recruiting
Heart health study using CT scans and blood samples
This study looks at blood samples and CT scans from people with stable coronary artery disease to find new ways to predict and prevent future heart problems. If you've had or are about to have a cardiac CT and have blood stored, you might be able to join.
Pisa, ItalyAges 40–75 - NCT06659367Recruiting
FFR/QFR registry for heart artery assessment
This study collects information from people who have had a standard heart test called FFR to measure blood flow in their arteries. It aims to better understand how this test helps guide treatment.
BelgradeAges 18 years+ - NCT06681740Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for heart disease patients
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people who have had a heart attack and a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The exercises strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
