Aerobic exercise after a heart attack: which type works best?
This study compares two types of aerobic exercise (steady vs. interval) to see which one improves heart health more for people who have recently had a heart attack or procedure. If you've completed a stress test and been cleared for exercise, you may be able to join.
London, OntarioAges 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 - 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+ - NCT05799092Recruiting
Invasive vs non-invasive test for less-severe blocked heart arteries
This study compares two approaches to evaluating and treating people with symptoms of blocked heart arteries that are not “high-risk.” It may help doctors choose the safest, most effective next step for you by comparing invasive testing versus non-invasive evaluation.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT05831085Recruiting
Compare procedures to improve heart blood flow in diabetes
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—stent placement (PCI) versus bypass surgery (CABG)—in people with diabetes and significant multi-vessel coronary artery disease. It looks at outcomes using both standard heart tests and additional imaging/functional measurements to guide the best revascularization strategy.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 20 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 - NCT05698732Recruiting
Coroflex stent study for selected small heart artery blockages
This trial studies a new heart stent (called Coroflex ISAR NEO) for people who need a procedure to open a narrowed coronary artery. It may help improve long-term results for patients with certain small, short blockages who can safely take the required blood-thinning medicines.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05634031Recruiting
Study of heart vessel dysfunction seen on heart imaging
This study looks at coronary microvascular dysfunction (small blood vessel problems in the heart) using heart imaging. It may help researchers understand causes of chest tightness with activity and shortness of breath when the main heart arteries are not blocked.
New York, New YorkAges 18 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.

Compare bypass or stent for heart weakness from blocked arteries
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for coronary arterial disease (cad)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 193 recruiting coronary arterial disease (cad) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a coronary arterial disease (cad) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a coronary arterial disease (cad) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
