Study of treatments and imaging in women with angina or HFpEF
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You can sign written informed consent
- For the angina group: you have symptomatic angina (chest pain from heart disease) or a similar symptom
- For the HFpEF group: you have heart failure symptoms with “preserved” pumping strength (LVEF 45% or higher)
- For the HFpEF group: tests suggest higher heart filling pressures (examples include elevated BNP or pressures on heart testing)

This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.
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.
This study looks at how to personalize treatment for people with angina (chest pain) by measuring how well blood flows through the heart’s small vessels and the main arteries during a procedure. It may help doctors choose the right approach after your coronary angiography (heart artery imaging).
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.
This study helps women with chest pain or heart symptoms who have normal-looking coronary arteries (the blood vessels that feed the heart). Researchers will perform specialized heart tests to understand why you have symptoms, then tailor treatment based on your specific condition.
This trial compares two strategies for deciding which heart blockages to treat, using special pressure and blood-flow measurements during a heart procedure. It may help doctors choose more accurate treatment by tailoring the plan to each person’s heart blood flow.
