Mental stress testing in postmenopausal women with chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how your heart reacts to mental stress in postmenopausal women, including those with chest pain and those with or without blocked heart arteries. It uses a special heart scan (MIBG) and stress tasks to understand differences that may help guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can and agree to get a cardiac MIBG scan
- You can and agree to do mental stress testing (and lie flat for it)

This trial uses heart MRI scanning to create normal reference measurements in women who appear to have no heart blood-flow problems. It may help doctors compare future MRI results and better interpret scans when symptoms happen.
This trial is testing a new magnetic heart scan (MCG) to see if it can better detect blockages in people with chest pain that is not a full heart attack. If you are having chest pain and are already scheduled for a heart catheterization or CT scan, this study might help find the cause more accurately.
This study tests a new kind of stress test to understand how small blood-vessel heart problems relate to heart relaxation problems in people with angina (chest pain) but no blocked arteries. It may help doctors learn better ways to diagnose and guide treatment for these conditions.
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 study looks at why some people still have chest pain (angina) even after a successful heart stent procedure (PCI). You will have a heart MRI (stress CMR) before the stent procedure, and doctors will measure blood flow in your heart arteries during and after the procedure.
This trial studies how heart disease affects the heart using heart imaging, and looks at people with chest pain/angina or heart failure with preserved pumping strength (HFpEF). It may help doctors better understand what’s driving symptoms and how best to evaluate these conditions.
