Testing heart pain treatment guided by blood-flow measurements
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how to personalize treatment for people with angina (chest pain) by measuring how well blood flows through the heart’s small vessels and the main arteries during a procedure. It may help doctors choose the right approach after your coronary angiography (heart artery imaging).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have angina symptoms (chest pain related to reduced blood flow)
- Be scheduled for an invasive heart artery imaging test (coronary angiography)
- During the procedure, have specific blood-flow measurements (FFR and microcirculation resistance index) for at least one artery blockage of 50% or more
- You will need to provide written informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a small pressure-reducing device placed in a heart vein (the coronary sinus) can reduce symptoms in people with ongoing chest pain from tiny blood vessel problems. It is for angina that has not improved despite standard heart medicines, and only if special heart tests show reversible reduced blood flow.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in your heart (the microcirculation) that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries are open. It aims to better understand and treat this type of chest pain, called chronic coronary syndrome.
This trial tests a new way to measure resistance in the heart's small and large arteries during a standard angiogram. It may help doctors better understand and treat blockages or microvascular disease.
This study examines how a special measurement technique works when blood vessels are dilated during a heart imaging procedure. It may help doctors better assess whether narrowing in your heart arteries needs treatment.
This trial tests a special wireless pressure catheter to see how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their main heart arteries.
This trial studies people who have chest pain (angina) due to problems with the heart’s small arteries, not a big blockage. It aims to test whether treatment approaches can help these patients by better understanding the cause of their heart-related symptoms.
