Study of heart pain from small artery heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies people who have chest pain (angina) due to problems with the heart’s small arteries, not a big blockage. It aims to test whether treatment approaches can help these patients by better understanding the cause of their heart-related symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and able to consent to the study
- You have symptoms like angina or chest pain, and testing suggests reduced blood flow to the heart
- Your coronary artery angiogram (within the last 24 months) did NOT show a significant blockage (less than 50% narrowing)
- You do NOT have a recent heart attack (within the last 30 days) and you have not had planned or past heart procedures like stents or bypass
- You can safely receive adenosine or regadenoson (Lexiscan), and your chest pain is not from another cause like lung or stomach problems
- You do not have advanced heart failure (NYHA class III/IV on treatment) and your heart pumping strength is not weak (ejection fraction 40% or less)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how heart disease affects the heart using heart imaging, and looks at people with chest pain/angina or heart failure with preserved pumping strength (HFpEF). It may help doctors better understand what’s driving symptoms and how best to evaluate these conditions.
This study looks at why some people have chest pain or other heart symptoms even when their main heart arteries are not blocked. It tests whether inflammation in the small blood vessels of the heart might cause these symptoms, and aims to understand how to better diagnose and treat this condition.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in your heart (the microcirculation) that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries are open. It aims to better understand and treat this type of chest pain, called chronic coronary syndrome.
This study looks at women who have chest pain but no major blockages in their heart arteries. It uses special tests to understand the cause and gives personalized treatment to help reduce symptoms and improve heart health.
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose problems in the small blood vessels of the heart that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries look clear. The test uses a special technique to measure how well these small vessels work, which could help find the cause of your symptoms.
This trial tests whether a small pressure-reducing device placed in a heart vein (the coronary sinus) can reduce symptoms in people with ongoing chest pain from tiny blood vessel problems. It is for angina that has not improved despite standard heart medicines, and only if special heart tests show reversible reduced blood flow.
