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 - NCT05731687Recruiting
Balloon or two-stent approach for clogged bifurcation arteries
This trial compares two ways to open a specific type of heart blockage that involves both a main artery and a side branch. It tests whether using a drug-coated balloon (“hybrid strategy”) works as well as using a planned two-stent approach (“stepwise provisional strategy”).
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07856472Recruiting
AI heart test study for heart disease diagnosis
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart tests (ECGs) to help diagnose and predict outcomes for people with heart disease. It may lead to better and faster detection of heart conditions.
Incheon, IncheonAges 18 years+ - NCT04375306Recruiting
Testing a heart-pressure ratio to choose bypass surgery plan
This trial studies whether a special heart “pressure/flow ratio” test (measured during the procedure) can help doctors choose the best plan for coronary bypass surgery. It may improve how bypass targets the problem blood vessels, but only if certain heart and health factors fit the study rules.
BonheidenAges 18 years+ - NCT06253962Recruiting
Can carotid artery scans predict heart disease?
This study looks at whether ultrasound scans of the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) can help predict blockages in the heart arteries. If you are getting both a carotid ultrasound and a heart angiogram, you may be able to join.
ShanghaiAges 14–90 - NCT07856199Recruiting
Checking pelvic arteries in men with heart disease
This study uses a special ultrasound probe during heart catheterization to look at the arteries in the pelvis that supply the penis. It aims to see if plaque buildup in these arteries is linked to erectile dysfunction in men who have heart disease.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06250790Recruiting
Heart Artery Check for Leg Artery Disease Patients
This trial uses a special CT scan (coronary CTA with HeartFlow analysis) to look for hidden blockages in the heart arteries of people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It may help detect heart problems early so they can be treated.
RigaAges 50 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 - NCT05248165Recruiting
Heart artery disease patients having stent placement
This study enrolls adults with blocked heart arteries who need a procedure called PCI (stent placement). It collects real-world information to help understand and improve care for people like you.
NaplesAges 18 years+ - NCT05714241Recruiting
Blood tests to study heart pain with blocked-unblocked arteries
This study looks at blood “biomarkers” and platelet function to better understand INOCA (heart-related chest pain despite no major artery blockage). You may be eligible if you have INOCA and are already taking aspirin, and if you haven’t taken certain blood-thinner or platelet-altering medicines recently.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06091774Recruiting
Digital therapy for heart disease risk factors
This study tests a smartphone app (iATROS) for managing heart disease risk factors in patients with coronary heart disease. If you have had a heart attack, a stent, angioplasty, or bypass surgery, and you can use a smartphone, this program may help you reduce your risk through digital monitoring and guidance.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06095765RecruitingPhase 3
Colchicine for heart disease after stent placement
This trial tests if colchicine, a common anti-inflammatory medicine, can help prevent future heart problems in people who have coronary artery disease and recently had a stent placed. It's for adults with at least one extra risk factor like diabetes, smoking, or high blood pressure.
AalstAges 45 years+ - NCT06279663Recruiting
Comparing bypass surgery vs stenting for high-risk heart attacks
This study compares two common treatments (bypass surgery vs. stenting) for people having a high-risk heart attack that involves blockages in multiple arteries. It aims to find which approach leads to better long-term outcomes.
Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk OblAges 18 years+ - NCT05931783Recruiting
Compare two ways to use an artery during heart bypass
This study compares two surgical techniques for heart bypass: using the left internal thoracic artery in one specific way versus another. It may help improve how well the bypass works in people who need bypass surgery for multiple blocked heart arteries.
GrazAges 18–80 - NCT03908463Recruiting
Heart procedure registry for people who get coronary angioplasty
This trial is a registry that collects health information from adults who undergo a heart procedure called coronary angioplasty. It may help researchers understand outcomes and improve care for future patients undergoing similar treatments.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06393894Recruiting
Latvian Early Atherosclerosis Registry Study
This study is gathering information from people with early heart artery blockages (occurring before age 55 for men or 65 for women) who need or have had treatment like stents or bypass. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes.
RigaAges 18–65 - NCT06393478Recruiting
Southeastern Europe Microcirculation Registry
This study is collecting information about how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart work in people with chest pain. It helps doctors learn more about microcirculation problems and may lead to better treatments.
RijekaAges 18 years+ - NCT07853261Recruiting
Balloon inflation study for coronary stent placement
This trial tests a special way of inflating a balloon after placing a stent in a blocked heart artery. It aims to improve how well the stent expands, which may help keep the artery open.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT06071741Recruiting
Heart stent procedure registry at UMC
This study is a registry that collects information from all patients who get a heart artery stent procedure at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City. It helps doctors learn more about how these procedures are done and how patients do over time.
