Can we skip a heart artery test before surgery?
This study looks at whether people with adult congenital heart disease can skip a pre-surgery artery test (coronary angiography) if they already had a CT scan. If you qualify, you might help doctors find safer, simpler ways to prepare for heart surgery.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07416279Recruiting
Can tiny bubbles replace catheters for heart pressure checks?
This trial tests if tiny ultrasound contrast bubbles can measure heart pressure, possibly replacing the need for catheter tubes. If you're already getting a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
LondonAges 21–81 - NCT07057323Enrolling by invitation
Coronary sinus reducer for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial tests a device placed in a heart vein to improve symptoms in people whose heart pumps normally but still causes shortness of breath and fatigue. The device may help relieve pressure in the heart and improve daily life.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07463664Recruiting
Drug-coated balloons for blocked heart arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon, used without a permanent stent, can safely open completely blocked heart arteries that have been blocked for at least 3 months. It may offer an option that avoids leaving a metal stent behind.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05491668Recruiting
Testing heart artery narrowing before planned stent procedure
This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06529848Recruiting
Exercise for heart symptoms with clear arteries
This trial tests if exercise training can help people who have chest pain or shortness of breath even though their main heart arteries are not blocked. It focuses on those with small vessel disease in the heart, also known as INOCA.
CopenhagenAges 50 years+ - NCT06863545Recruiting
PCSK9 Inhibitors for High-Risk Coronary Plaques on CT
This study tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor (a newer cholesterol-lowering shot) to standard treatment can reduce heart risks in people who have certain high-risk plaque features seen on a CT scan of their heart arteries.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04691037Recruiting
CT heart scan to guide care for stable chest pain
This trial studies whether a CT heart scan (CCTA) can better guide treatment decisions for people with stable chest pain caused by blocked heart arteries. It may help your care team choose the next best step based on scan results.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04442100Recruiting
Testing a new easy-change heart valve replacement system
This study tests a biological (tissue) heart valve replacement system designed to be easier to change later. It may help people who need valve surgery because their valve is narrowed or damaged.
Tomsk, Tomsk OblastAges 60 years+ - NCT05682118Recruiting
Using a new heart scan guide to plan blood-flow procedures
This trial tests whether a computer guidance system can help doctors choose the right pressure/blood-flow measurements during certain heart artery procedures. It may help ensure treatment decisions are based on the clearest information about narrowed arteries.
Yongin, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT07485738Recruiting
Blood flow during bypass surgery and graft recovery
This study looks at how blood flow readings during coronary artery bypass surgery relate to whether the new grafts stay open and how well patients recover. It aims to help improve long-term results for people needing bypass surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05465031RecruitingPhase 4
Testing heart-protection medicine during breast cancer treatment
This trial tests sacubitril/valsartan to help prevent heart weakness (cardiotoxicity) caused by breast cancer treatments like anthracyclines and/or anti-HER2 drugs. If you qualify, you may be offered this heart-protection medicine while your cancer is treated.
