Pressure wave test for people with angina
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a pressure waveform in the heart’s blood vessels can be analyzed to learn more about angina (chest discomfort from reduced blood flow). You may be asked to undergo specific heart/blood-flow measurements, which could help improve understanding and future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with angina (chest discomfort from reduced blood flow).
- You do not have severe heart valve problems.
- You do not have a history of asthma.
- Your resting heart rate is 50 beats per minute or higher.
- Your systolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg or higher.

This trial tests whether a computer guidance system can help doctors choose the right pressure/blood-flow measurements during certain heart artery procedures. It may help ensure treatment decisions are based on the clearest information about narrowed arteries.
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 aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
This study uses a new method during a routine heart catheterization to measure resistance in the heart arteries and the tiny blood vessels. It helps doctors understand if a treatment like stents or medication would be best for your heart.
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose problems in the small blood vessels of the heart that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries look clear. The test uses a special technique to measure how well these small vessels work, which could help find the cause of your symptoms.
This study tests a new imaging method to better understand blood flow in the heart's arteries for people with chest pain but without severe blockages. It may help doctors decide on the best treatment.
