Check whether exercise heart tests help diagnose artery blockage
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether an “exercise heart test” can better diagnose blockage in the heart’s coronary arteries. Participants may also have a heart scan or imaging test for comparison, within a short time window.

This study looks at how likely people are to have coronary artery disease (heart artery blockage) based on results from CT scans. It may help doctors better estimate risk and decide what follow-up care you may need.
This study compares two types of heart scans to see which one better finds blockages in the arteries of people with chest discomfort or shortness of breath when active. You will have both a special CT scan and a PET/CT scan to check the health of your heart arteries.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study screens people with chest symptoms to see who might have coronary artery disease (CAD) when it’s not clear from symptoms alone. It may help doctors choose the right imaging tests for more accurate answers and safer care.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
