This trial uses CT scans to see how well a special drug-coated balloon works for opening blocked heart arteries. It may be a good option if you have new blockages that are the right size for this treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07397351RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled Aroxxen to protect the heart during stent placement
This trial tests whether an inhaled medication called Aroxxen® can protect your heart during a planned stent procedure. It may help reduce stress on the heart muscle.
Saint PetersburgAges 50–80 - NCT02038127Recruiting
Health registry for people getting a drug-coated heart stent
This study follows people who need a coronary (heart) stent to see how they do after treatment. It does not sound like an experimental drug trial for you—it’s mainly about collecting health information after a stent procedure.
Chuncheon, Gangwon-doAges 19 years+ - NCT02038660Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon treatment registry for narrowed blood vessels
This study records outcomes for people who get a drug-coated balloon used to treat a narrowed blood vessel after a first balloon treatment. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works in everyday care and for different patient needs.
Bucheon-siAges 20 years+ - NCT01838148Recruiting
Tests heart signals to detect reduced blood flow during exercise
This study looks at specific blood-flow and heart-rhythm signals during an exercise test to find signs of reduced blood flow to the heart. It may help doctors spot heart problems sooner and decide who needs more care.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT02039752Recruiting
Registry for adults with multi-vessel heart disease
This study is a registry that collects information about adults with heart disease affecting more than one vessel. It may help doctors better understand how these conditions are managed over time at Asan Medical Center.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT01788592Recruiting
Study of drug-coated stents in routine heart procedure care
This study follows people who need a heart procedure to open narrowed coronary arteries using a drug-coated stent. It aims to see how well these stents work and how people do in everyday clinical practice.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT02381301Recruiting
Blood and heart CT scan tests for heart blood-flow markers
This study looks at whether certain lab “biomarkers” and a heart CT scan can help understand heart blood flow in people getting routine coronary CT angiography (CCTA). It may be useful for improving how doctors assess heart health from scan and blood results.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT01517425Enrolling by invitation
Using blood stem cells to study heart disease traits
This study uses your blood to create special lab cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) to better understand heart-related differences between people with coronary artery disease and generally healthy older adults. It may help researchers learn what biological traits are linked to heart risk and how those traits work.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02013284Enrolling by invitation
Stool test to see if gut microbes predict heart risk
This study looks at your gut bacteria (from a stool sample) to see whether they can help predict heart risk in people being checked for blocked heart arteries. Your results may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07420582Recruiting
Blood recycling after bypass heart surgery
This trial tests whether collecting and re-infusing your own blood during heart surgery reduces the need for donor blood transfusions. It's for adults having planned bypass surgery with a heart-lung machine.
Kocaeli, IzmitAges 18–80 - NCT07444697Recruiting
Erections after heart stent in men with and without heart attack
This study looks at how having a stent placed affects men's ability to have erections. It compares men who had a heart attack with those who had stable chest pain. If you take part, you will fill out short questionnaires about your sexual function and recovery for 6 months.
KirikkaleAges 30–75 - NCT07444931Recruiting
Predicting cardiac arrest risk in heart disease patients
This study looks at factors that may help predict sudden cardiac arrest in people with coronary artery disease. If you have a recent diagnosis of significant blockage or a heart attack, joining this trial could help improve risk assessment.
HaderaAges 18–75 - NCT07451522Recruiting
Comparing pain relief methods after heart bypass surgery
This study compares different ways to manage pain after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which is heart bypass surgery. The goal is to find which approach works best and is safest for patients in the early recovery period.
Vladivostok, Outside USAges 18–75 - NCT07479433Recruiting
New approach to plan stent placement using CT scans
This study tests if using a special CT scan analysis can help doctors plan where to place stents for blocked arteries. It might make the procedure safer and more effective for people who are scheduled for a planned stent procedure.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07480915Recruiting
Heart failure risk after bypass surgery
This study looks at how to predict major heart problems in people with heart failure who are scheduled for bypass surgery (CABG). It aims to improve risk assessment before the procedure.
Tomsk, Tomsk OblastAges Any age - NCT07523880Recruiting
Blood Markers Study for Heart Disease and Blood Clot Risk
This study examines new blood markers to predict blood clot and bleeding risks in patients with heart disease taking blood thinners. Understanding these markers may help doctors better predict complications and adjust treatment for individual patients.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07559903Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon heart artery treatment registry
This study tracks outcomes in adults who receive a special balloon catheter (coated with medication) to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers collect data to understand how well this treatment works and any side effects that occur.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07572032RecruitingPhase 4
Heart failure recovery after valve or coronary surgery
This study tests when to start two heart-protective medications (ARNI and SGLT2 inhibitors) after you've had surgery to fix a valve problem or blocked heart arteries. Researchers want to see if waiting a bit before starting these drugs helps your heart recover better.
Daegu, DaeguAges 18 years+ - NCT07591987Recruiting
Breathing Techniques to Reduce Shortness of Breath After Heart Surgery
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help reduce shortness of breath and improve heart and lung function in patients recovering from open-heart surgery. You would learn and practice these breathing techniques before and after your surgery.
Baghdad, Baghdad GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07610538Recruiting
Low-dose IL-2 study after heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether a low dose of a natural immune-boosting protein (IL-2) given after heart bypass surgery can help reduce heart damage. The treatment aims to activate special immune cells that protect heart tissue.
