Using FFRct to guide tests for stable chest pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study checks whether adding FFRct analysis (a special computer-based estimate of blood flow from a CT scan) improves the diagnostic pathway for people with stable chest pain. It may help doctors decide what to do next by clarifying how much a narrowed heart artery is truly limiting blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You have stable chest pain
- Your CT scan (CCTA) showed a heart artery narrowing of at least 50% but under 90%
- You can give informed consent and plan to follow up with the study
- Your prior heart treatment/test history fits the trial rules (no certain heart procedures or recent CAD testing)

This study compares new imaging methods to see how well they work and whether they can lower costs for people with suspected coronary artery disease. It may help by using different scan approaches while keeping patient safety in mind.
This trial compares two non-invasive ways to measure blood flow in narrowed heart arteries. If you have stable or unstable chest pain or had a heart attack more than 72 hours ago and a CT shows a moderate blockage (70-90% narrowed), you might be eligible.
This trial compares two ways of deciding what to do next after a CT heart scan in people with stable chest pain. It looks at how well each approach helps doctors choose the safest next step (such as further testing or treatment).
This study tests whether a CT scan combined with blood-flow measurements can better predict which heart artery blockages are serious. It may help avoid unnecessary invasive tests.
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
This trial tests if using a special heart CT scan (CCTA with FFRCT) before a planned angioplasty can help doctors better plan where to place stents. You may be eligible if you have a narrowing in one or two heart arteries that haven't been treated before.
