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 study is testing a new way to measure blood flow in the heart's small arteries (called caIMR) to help doctors decide on the best treatment for people with certain types of chest pain or suspected reduced blood flow. It is for patients who do not have major blockages but might still have issues in the small vessels or along a long segment of the artery.
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).
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 tests a new way to measure small blood vessel function in people with chest pain but clear main arteries. It aims to find hidden causes of discomfort so doctors can choose the right treatment.
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 trial compares two strategies for deciding which heart blockages to treat, using special pressure and blood-flow measurements during a heart procedure. It may help doctors choose more accurate treatment by tailoring the plan to each person’s heart blood flow.
