Stress test study of heart blood-flow issues in adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new kind of stress test to understand how small blood-vessel heart problems relate to heart relaxation problems in people with angina (chest pain) but no blocked arteries. It may help doctors learn better ways to diagnose and guide treatment for these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with chest pain caused by tiny heart blood vessel problems (microvascular dysfunction). It aims to see if exercise can improve symptoms and heart function.
This study tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
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 a special wireless pressure catheter to see how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their main heart arteries.
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 coronary microvascular dysfunction (small blood vessel problems in the heart) using heart imaging. It may help researchers understand causes of chest tightness with activity and shortness of breath when the main heart arteries are not blocked.
