Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06047028Recruiting
Heart MRI scan to assess tissue health
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at heart muscle metabolism in people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries. It may help doctors better understand which heart tissue is still alive and could recover.
Dallas, TexasAges 20–80 - NCT06041581Enrolling by invitation
Insomnia treatment study for heart health
This study tests whether treating insomnia can help lower your risk for heart disease. If you have trouble sleeping and certain heart risk factors, you may be able to join.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40 years+ - NCT05786131Recruiting
Stent treatment: fix all blocked arteries vs culprit only
This trial compares two ways of doing a stent procedure in people who had an NSTEMI heart attack: fixing all significant blockages versus fixing only the “culprit” blockage. It may help find which approach is safer and more effective for preventing complications.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT05701358Recruiting
Guiding heart stent decisions to fully treat blocked arteries after a heart attack
This trial compares two ways doctors decide which additional blocked heart arteries to treat with stents soon after a heart attack. It may help patients avoid later heart problems by testing a “complete revascularization” strategy planned after the initial culprit artery was treated.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05704296Recruiting
Two bypass techniques using leg vein and chest artery
This study compares two ways of using a leg vein and an artery from your chest during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for making the new blood pathways to your heart.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05461729Recruiting
Testing a heart rehab timing prediction tool after a heart attack
This study follows people with coronary artery disease who are starting a structured heart rehabilitation program after a heart attack or heart procedures. The trial tests whether it can predict and improve the right timing or planning for cardiac rehab.
Ennepetal, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05418556RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing antiplatelet strategies after heart stent
This study compares two ways of choosing blood thinners after a heart stent procedure. It aims to see if using an imaging-guided strategy leads to better outcomes than usual care.
Bucheon-siAges 19 years+ - NCT05292651Recruiting
Stent placement strategy study for blocked heart arteries
This study compares how best to place a coronary stent (a small tube to keep an artery open) using modern techniques. It may help improve how safely and effectively stents are delivered in people with certain types of narrowed heart arteries.
DordrechtAges 18–100 - NCT04944615Recruiting
IVUS-guided stent placement for blocked heart artery using longer guidance
This trial compares two ways to place a stent (a small mesh tube) for a completely blocked heart artery: using an IVUS camera inside the artery versus using a standard x-ray approach. It may help people get better heart outcomes by improving how accurately the stent is placed in long-term blockages.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04923191Recruiting
Test heart-procedure guidance from scans versus usual care
This study compares two ways of guiding a heart stent procedure: using information from a special angiography scan versus using standard practice. It may help your care team choose the best treatment to improve heart outcomes after stenting.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT04126148Recruiting
Breathing test to measure heart oxygen use
This study measures how well the heart uses oxygen during a breathing-based test. It aims to validate a way to assess heart blood flow in people with suspected or known coronary artery disease, using special heart imaging and a heart blood-flow measurement during an angiogram.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03789916RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin alone versus two blood thinners after heart bypass
This Phase 3 trial compares two strategies to prevent blood clots after heart bypass surgery: aspirin alone versus aspirin plus ticagrelor. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for people whose bypass does not fully restore blood flow.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT03470246Recruiting
Wearable activity coaching after heart surgery
