Assessing exercise capacity in people with heart microvascular problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well you can exercise and how your body composition relates to tiny blood-vessel problems in the heart. It may help doctors better understand symptoms and function in people who don’t have major blockages in the large heart arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old
- You have chest pain or other heart-related symptoms like shortness of breath, typical or unusual
- Your heart scans show no major artery narrowing (more than 50%)
- Your heart pumping strength (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 50% or higher
- You can safely do an exercise test on a treadmill or stationary bike
- You do not have certain heart rhythm or structural heart conditions listed in the study

This study helps doctors better understand a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but has trouble relaxing and filling with blood. Researchers will use ultrasound, blood tests, and clinical information to identify different subtypes and improve treatment.
This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.
This study looks at different types of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (a form of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly). Researchers will use past medical records and possibly a special exercise test to better understand these types and how to treat them.
This study looks for people who may have a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but still doesn't work well. It aims to better understand who gets this condition and how to spot it earlier.
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 study looks at how well two heart tests taken during exercise—direct heart pressure measurement and an ultrasound—can explain shortness of breath with activity. It may help doctors better diagnose what’s causing your symptoms.
