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 study tests a new way to measure blood flow in the heart using an MRI scan. It may help doctors better diagnose chest pain and decide on treatment.
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 compares two heart imaging tests: magnetocardiography (a magnetic scan) and emission computed tomography (ECT), to see if the magnetic scan can help detect reduced blood flow to the heart. If you're already scheduled for an ECT scan, this study may help show whether the newer magnetic test works as well.
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 tests a special heart scan that measures blood flow to the heart muscle. It may help doctors decide if your heart blockages need treatment or if medication is enough.
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.
