Testing a heart scan for reduced blood flow
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a special heart imaging test (PET/CT) can show areas with reduced blood flow. It may help doctors understand your heart’s circulation better and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older
- You cannot be pregnant
- You should not be breastfeeding

This trial uses a heart scan (PET/CT) to better estimate blood flow in people with long-term coronary artery disease. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment strategy and decide who may need more invasive testing or procedures.
This study tests a special imaging scan to measure how well blood flows through heart muscle in patients with chest pain and suspected heart disease. The results may help doctors better diagnose heart conditions without invasive procedures.
This study tests a new, noninvasive way to detect reduced blood flow to the heart (myocardial ischemia) using a magnetic heart scan called MCG. If you have chest pain or similar symptoms but your narrowed arteries are not severely blocked, this trial may help diagnose your condition more accurately.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan that shows how well blood reaches your heart muscle. It may help doctors better assess suspected or known reduced blood flow (ischemic heart disease).
This study looks at specific blood-flow and heart-rhythm signals during an exercise test to find signs of reduced blood flow to the heart. It may help doctors spot heart problems sooner and decide who needs more care.
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.
