Recruiting studies
- NCT06711822Recruiting
Shockwave catheter for calcified heart artery blockages
This study tests a new catheter device (ShockPulse-10) that uses shockwaves to crack calcium in heart arteries before placing a stent. It is designed for people with hard, calcified blockages that are difficult to treat with balloons alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06736665Recruiting
Comparing two ways to treat hardened calcium in heart arteries
This trial compares two techniques (orbital atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy) to break up tough calcium deposits in the heart's arteries that can block blood flow. If you have a calcified nodule and are having a non-emergency procedure to open a blocked artery, this study may help guide which method works best.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06775028Recruiting
Integrated care for older adults with atrial fibrillation
This trial is testing a new approach to care for older adults with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who also have other health conditions. It aims to see if a more integrated, team-based care plan helps improve their overall health and quality of life.
HaskovoAges 65 years+ - NCT06794684Recruiting
Watching Plaque in Heart Arteries Over Time
This study uses CT scans and special camera images inside your arteries to watch how plaque buildup in heart arteries changes over time. It may help you understand your risk and guide future treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06804499Recruiting
Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
This study is for people with coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in the heart) who live in the Pirkanmaa area of Finland. It will collect information and blood samples to better understand heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges 18 years+ - NCT06820970Recruiting
Combined therapy for heart artery blockages that weren't fully opened
This trial tests if combining a new heart procedure with a special type of therapy called mindfulness therapy can help prevent heart problems in people with coronary artery disease that could not be fully fixed with stents or surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06822894Recruiting
3-vessel ultrasound flow study in heart disease patients
This trial uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in three main heart arteries. It may help doctors better understand blockages and improve treatment planning.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06831409Recruiting
Heart scan study for retired NFL players
This trial uses heart CT scans to measure plaque and blood flow in retired NFL players, helping understand heart risks.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges Any age - NCT06843005Recruiting
Heart CT scan study for plaque changes in mild coronary disease
This study uses repeat CT scans of the heart to see how plaque buildup changes over time in people with mild, non-blocking coronary artery disease. It may help doctors decide on better treatments to prevent future heart problems.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06845410Recruiting
INR-CAD: inflammation-related coronary artery disease study
This study follows people who have both coronary artery disease (narrowed heart arteries) and signs of chronic inflammation to learn more about their condition, current treatments, and outcomes. It helps doctors understand how best to care for patients like you.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06855537RecruitingPhase 4
Stent for vulnerable plaques in heart patients
This trial tests whether implanting stents in non-obstructive, high-risk plaques (thin-capped fatty plaques) can prevent future heart attacks. It is for people who have already had treatment for a recent heart attack or unstable angina and have additional plaques that are not severely blocking blood flow but are vulnerable.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06864234RecruitingPhase 4
Beta-blockers for chest pain without blocked arteries
This trial tests if beta-blocker medication improves blood flow and reduces resistance in the tiny blood vessels of the heart in people who have chest pain but no major blockages in their arteries.
Aalst, FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06867926Recruiting
Heart rehab and its effect on DNA and inflammation
This study looks at whether a cardiac rehabilitation program can reduce DNA damage and inflammation in people with coronary artery disease. It may help patients understand how exercise and lifestyle changes can affect their heart health at a cellular level.
KayseriAges 18–65 - NCT06880575Recruiting
Registry for seniors with coronary heart disease (SILVER-China)
This registry study in China is following older adults (75+) with coronary heart disease to learn more about their health over time. It involves sharing your medical information and coming back for check-ups, but no experimental treatments are given.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 75 years+ - NCT06900270Recruiting
Comparing blood markers in coronary artery disease
This study looks at blood proteins and other molecules in people with different types of coronary artery disease. The goal is to see how these markers differ between those with blocked arteries, those with narrowed arteries, and those with no artery disease. This may help doctors better understand the disease and improve treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 50–80 - NCT06910436Recruiting
AI timing and outcomes in heart attack study
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze ECG results and timing in patients with a type of heart attack called Non-STEMI (where the artery is narrowed but not fully blocked). The goal is to see if AI can help predict damage and outcomes, which could lead to better care.
Bolzano, BZAges 18 years+ - NCT06915597Recruiting
Drug-coated balloons for coronary artery disease
This trial is studying how well drug-coated balloons work for people with coronary artery disease. It looks at their use in many different situations, including new blockages, re-narrowed stents, and complex cases. The goal is to see if they are a good option for opening blocked arteries.
DenizliAges 18 years+ - NCT06927739RecruitingPhase 2
Orticumab for heart artery inflammation after a heart attack
This trial tests a drug called orticumab to see if it can reduce inflammation in the arteries of the heart after a heart attack. It may help prevent future heart problems.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06949150Recruiting
Combined heart CT scan study for coronary artery disease
This study tests a new way to use CT scans to look at both the structure of your heart arteries and how well blood flows through them. It may help doctors get a more complete picture of coronary artery disease without extra procedures.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06972225Recruiting
Study of heart outcomes after drug-coated balloon treatment
This study looks at heart-related complications in adults who had a coronary angioplasty using a drug-eluting balloon. It aims to understand how well these balloons work over time.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06977295Recruiting
Testing a new software for finding coronary artery disease
This study is testing a new computer program that helps doctors see if you have coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart's blood vessels). It looks back at past CT scans of the heart to see if the software works well compared to other tests.
VilleurbanneAges 18 years+ - NCT07001007Recruiting
Heart vibration test for cardiovascular risk
This trial uses a special device that measures vibrations from your heart to see if it can better predict your risk for heart disease. It's for people already in the larger SCAPIS 2 study who had an echocardiography exam.
StockholmAges 58–72 - NCT07013344Recruiting
Link between NT-proBNP and heart artery disease
This study looks at a blood test called NT-proBNP to see if it can help predict how much blockage is in the heart's arteries. It may help doctors better understand heart disease risk.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07025148RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood thinners after stenting for high-risk patients
This trial tests switching from a standard blood thinner (clopidogrel) to a lower dose of a stronger one (prasugrel) in people who have had a stent placed and are at high risk for both bleeding and heart problems. The goal is to see if the switch better prevents clots while keeping bleeding risks low.
