RigaAges 50 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 - NCT06259019Recruiting
Blood test during heart procedure to find disease markers
This trial uses a special device to take a small blood sample from your heart arteries during a planned procedure. It aims to find unique markers that could help doctors better understand and treat coronary artery disease.
BournemouthAges 18 years+ - NCT06266065Recruiting
Heart vein device for chest pain not helped by medication
This trial tests a small device placed in a vein near the heart to improve blood flow and reduce chest pain in people who cannot have bypass surgery or stents. The device aims to increase the heart's oxygen supply and relieve symptoms.
ZagrebAges 18–90 - NCT06271590Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for small heart artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT06275386Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for chronic heart artery blockages
This trial tests whether a special balloon coated with medicine (drug-coated balloon) can safely open a completely blocked heart artery, instead of using a permanent stent. It may be an option for people who have chronic chest pain or shortness of breath due to a long-standing blockage.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18 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+ - NCT06314295Recruiting
AI heart ultrasound to find blocked arteries
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart ultrasound images and detect blocked arteries in people with suspected coronary artery disease. It aims to see if AI can accurately find problems without needing more invasive tests.
BeijingAges 18–90 - NCT06327984Recruiting
Sex hormones and inflammation in heart disease
This study looks at how sex hormones and inflammation affect chest pain and heart disease. It aims to improve care for people with coronary artery disease.
LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT06338293RecruitingPhase 4
Inclisiran plus statins for fragile heart plaque
This trial tests if adding inclisiran to your current statin can reduce dangerous, rupture-prone plaque in your heart arteries. It may help if you have a moderate blockage with thin-cap plaque and your LDL cholesterol stays high despite statins.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06369142Recruiting
Shockwave lithotripsy for severe calcium in heart arteries
This study tests a new method called coronary lithotripsy to break up severe calcium deposits in heart arteries before placing a stent. It may help people with very hard, calcified blockages that are hard to treat with standard stenting.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06373601Recruiting
Testing a drug-coated balloon for small heart arteries
This study tests a drug-coated balloon (DCB) that releases two medicines (sirolimus and paclitaxel) to open blocked small heart arteries. It may help people with stable chest pain or recent, controlled heart events who have a narrowed small vessel.
Mercogliano, Italy/AvellinoAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06399692RecruitingPhase 3
Heart treatment study for women with blocked arteries
This trial is comparing two common heart procedures—bypass surgery (CABG) and stents (PCI)—to see which works better for women with blockages in multiple heart arteries. It aims to find the best treatment for women, who are often underrepresented in heart research.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06399705RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing bypass surgery vs stenting for minority heart patients
This trial compares two common heart procedures—bypass surgery and stenting—for people with multiple blocked arteries. It focuses on minority groups to find out which treatment works best for them. You will be asked to fill out quality-of-life questionnaires for up to 10 years.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06400290Recruiting
Balloon test to find which artery causes chest pain
This study tests a new way to find which blocked heart arteries are causing your chest pain. During a stent procedure, doctors will briefly block each artery to see which one triggers your symptoms. This might help them decide which blockages to treat.
BasildonAges 18 years+ - NCT06410690Recruiting
AI tool to predict high-risk coronary plaques from heart scans
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to analyze heart CT scans (CCTA) and identify dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to a heart attack. It aims to see if AI can better predict high-risk plaques in people with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
Milan, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06451198RecruitingPhase 4
Indobufen vs aspirin after stent in older heart patients
This trial tests whether a blood thinner called indobufen works as well as aspirin for older people (65+) who have had a heart attack or unstable angina, received a drug-eluting stent, and are already taking two blood thinners. The goal is to find a safer or better option for long-term prevention.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT06459934Recruiting
Heart and cardiovascular disease study
This study looks at the health outcomes of people with common heart conditions like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. It may help researchers understand how these conditions progress and how to better manage them.
Ürümqi, XinjiangAges 18–80 - NCT06464042Recruiting
Air Quality and Early Heart Disease Study
This trial studies how air quality affects early heart disease in young adults aged 18 to 40. It looks at people in Galicia, Spain, who already have coronary artery disease and compares them to healthy individuals.
Vigo, PontevedraAges 18–40 - NCT06484647Recruiting
Stenting methods for blocked artery forks
This trial compares two techniques for placing stents in the tricky area where a coronary artery splits into two branches (a bifurcation). The goal is to see which method leads to better blood flow and fewer complications for people with blockages there.
Rivoli, TurinAges 18 years+ - NCT07596706Recruiting
Comparing two stent techniques for left main branch blockages
This trial compares two ways of placing a stent at the point where the main left artery splits into two branches. It is for people who have a blockage in the very beginning of one of those branches, and it uses advanced drug-eluting stents to see which method works better.
