Stress echo imaging for people with heart valve or muscle issues
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have known or suspected coronary artery disease (plaque-related heart blood vessel problems)
- You have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a thickened heart muscle) OR
- You have had repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (a childhood heart defect) OR
- You have a primary heart valve problem (a main valve issue)

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 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.
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 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 tests a new imaging agent (99mTc-EC-DG) to see if it can help doctors evaluate coronary artery disease (blockages in heart blood vessels) during a nuclear heart scan. Participation involves two stress/rest scans and a heart catheterization. It may help improve how doctors diagnose and manage coronary artery disease.
