UppsalaAges 50–80 - NCT05476991RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose colchicine plus ticagrelor to prevent repeat stroke
This Phase 3 study tests whether low-dose colchicine added to ticagrelor (a blood-thinning medicine) helps prevent another ischemic stroke in people whose first stroke was caused by clogged arteries. It aims to lower the risk of repeat stroke after recovery from a recent event.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06960902Recruiting
Study of Heart Artery Plaque in Familial Hypercholesterolemia
This study uses a heart CT scan to look for plaque buildup in the arteries of people with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic high-cholesterol condition). It aims to understand why some people with FH develop heart disease while others don't.
DijonAges 40 years+ - NCT05156736Recruiting
Study of early heart artery disease in South Asians
This study looks at early buildup of plaque in heart arteries in young adults from Pakistan. It may help doctors understand why this happens earlier and guide better prevention and screening.
Karachi, SindhAges 35–65 - NCT07713017Recruiting
Exercise after heart bypass surgery
This study looks at how combining aerobic exercise with strength training can help people recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. If you had a successful bypass with no complications and are willing to join a heart rehab program, this trial may be a good fit for you.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–60 - NCT05801432Recruiting
Study of heart artery plaque in people with type 2 diabetes
This trial looks at coronary (heart) artery plaque using CT scans (CCTA) in people with type 2 diabetes who do not have symptoms. It may help doctors understand who is at risk of heart problems and how plaque changes over time.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07552948Recruiting
Radial vs. Vein Grafts for Heart Bypass Surgery
This study compares two types of blood vessels used in heart bypass surgery: the radial artery (from your forearm) versus a vein (typically from your leg). Researchers want to see which graft option works better and lasts longer in women with severe heart disease.
TomskAges 18 years+ - NCT06788431RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of IMC-001 to stabilize heart artery plaque
This trial tests an investigational drug, IMC-001, to see if it can make artery plaques in the heart more stable and less likely to cause a heart attack. You may be eligible if you've recently had a heart attack or unstable angina and have a specific type of soft plaque in your arteries.
Nanyang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT04864171Recruiting
Registry to study heart vessel imaging with a special light test
This registry collects images of coronary artery blockages during a routine heart procedure. It uses a special light-based imaging scan to help researchers understand how well the test shows artery lesions.
MiyazakiAges 20–95 - NCT05325034Recruiting
Lipid-lowering plan after heart attack in adults
This study tests a cholesterol-lowering treatment plan for adults admitted for a Type 1 heart attack. It may help your care team choose guideline-based cholesterol goals and treatments after the event.
Wollongong, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04505865Recruiting
Mindfulness program to reduce inflammation in heart disease
This trial studies whether a mindfulness (stress-reducing) program can lower “vascular inflammation” (inflammation in blood vessel walls) in people with stable coronary disease. It may help by improving stress and related inflammation markers while you stay on your usual heart medicines.

Tirzepatide for heart health in people with overweight or obesity
This trial tests the weight‑loss medication tirzepatide (Mounjaro) in people who are overweight or have obesity and have stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to see if tirzepatide can reduce dangerous fatty plaque in heart arteries.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06977295Recruiting
Testing a new software for finding coronary artery disease
This study is testing a new computer program that helps doctors see if you have coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart's blood vessels). It looks back at past CT scans of the heart to see if the software works well compared to other tests.
VilleurbanneAges 18 years+ - NCT06535568Recruiting
Comparing one vs two blood thinners after heart artery balloon treatment
This trial tests whether taking just one blood thinner (clopidogrel) is as safe and effective as taking two (clopidogrel plus aspirin) for older adults or people at high bleeding risk who have had a drug-coated balloon procedure to open blocked heart arteries.
