Tests how accurate heart ultrasound is during stress
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study checks how well a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) works when your heart is at rest and under stress. You may benefit by getting closer attention to how the test is done, especially if it’s being used to look for blocked-heart-blood-flow problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have a stress echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart during stress)
- The stress test is being done to look for ischaemic heart disease (blocked blood flow to the heart)
- You are able and willing to give informed consent
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your test is not being done mainly to check heart valve problems

This trial studies whether a newer, faster ultrasound imaging method can better assess areas of the heart that may not get enough blood during stress. You may be eligible if you have known coronary artery disease or are considered low risk, and if you can safely undergo the stress ultrasound test.
This study looks at how well a stress echocardiogram (heart ultrasound during exercise or medication) predicts future health in people who have some sign of reduced blood flow to the heart. The goal is to confirm that a positive stress echo is a good sign for guiding next steps.
This study uses computer technology (“machine learning”) with stress echocardiogram images (a heart ultrasound done during stress) to improve how heart function is measured. If you are able to have a stress echocardiogram, you may be able to help test a better way to interpret the results.
This trial studies a stress echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart during stress) to better understand and improve future heart imaging. It may help by comparing how well the test works for different heart conditions.
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (stress echo with ultrasound of the neck, and a CT scan) to see which one better helps guide treatment for people with chest pain that might be from heart disease. If you have chest pain that is typical for heart disease, you may be able to join.
This study uses sound recordings from your heart (like a high-tech stethoscope) to see if early signs of heart disease can be detected. You may qualify if you are already having two common heart tests (angiogram and echocardiogram) within a 6-month period.
