Test study for heart attacks without blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who may have MINOCA (heart attack symptoms with no major artery blockage) or takotsubo syndrome (a temporary stress-related heart condition). The goal is to better understand these causes and how they should be diagnosed and treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 35 to 80 years old
- Doctors suspect MINOCA or takotsubo syndrome
- A heart scan (coronary angiography) did not show a blockage in the artery of 50% or more
- You can read and write in Swedish
- You do not have claustrophobia (fear of small enclosed spaces)

This trial studies whether an internet-based therapy program can reduce stress and anxiety in people who may have heart-related conditions like MINOCA or takotsubo syndrome, but without significant coronary artery blockages. If you fit the mood and heart criteria, the program may help you feel calmer and improve day-to-day wellbeing.
This study is for people who have had a heart attack but whose arteries are not blocked. It aims to learn more about this condition and how to best treat it.
This study looks at why some people have chest pain and heart injury signs, but their heart arteries are not blocked. It tests scans of blood flow and heart tissue to better understand the cause and guide care.
This study looks for hidden heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis) in patients who had a heart attack but no blocked arteries. It uses an MRI to check the heart muscle, which could help explain their symptoms and guide future care.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at tiny blood vessels in the eye and see if they can help predict outcomes for people who had a heart attack without blocked arteries (MINOCA). It compares these patients to others with typical heart attacks and healthy people.
This trial studies what acetylcholine testing during a coronary angiogram (CAG) can show in people with INOCA or MINOCA. It may help doctors better understand certain “spasm” or blood-vessel function problems that can cause chest pain or heart-attack-like symptoms without a blocked artery.
