99mTc heart scan test for blocked heart arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a heart scan medicine (99mTc-ECDG) to help evaluate coronary artery disease, a condition caused by narrowed heart arteries. It compares how well the scan works and looks at safety while you undergo standard heart stress imaging.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You either had a recent standard heart rest/stress scan (within 30 days) and are planning a coronary angiogram, or you already have an angiogram planned/completed within 30 days and will still do the standard scan for the study
- You can sign informed consent and follow the study schedule
- Your heart medicines are not changing between the study’s scan visits
- You can safely do the required stress test (exercise treadmill or medicine-based stress) and can lie still about 30 minutes for the images
- You must not be pregnant or nursing, and you must use reliable birth control if you could become pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares a new dye (99mTc-4BOH) with an existing one to see which better shows blockages in heart arteries. If you have chest pain and a confirmed blockage, this trial may help improve detection of coronary artery disease.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in the heart using a special SPECT/CT scan. It is for people who have mild to moderate blockages in their heart arteries and may benefit from more detailed imaging to guide their treatment.
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (SPECT and coronary CTA) to see if a newer method gives a clearer picture of blood flow. If you have been referred for one of these tests, you may be able to help by also having the other test done at no extra risk.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to look for blockages in the arteries that can cause chest pain or shortness of breath. It is for people who have not been diagnosed with heart disease before and are already scheduled for a catheterization procedure.
