Medication comparison for older adults with stable heart pain
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests which heart medications work best for older adults who have stable angina (predictable chest pain) and multiple other long-term health problems. You may be asked to start or adjust medications and attend regular follow-up visits to see which approach controls symptoms and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 65 or older.
- You have stable angina from blocked heart arteries and a plan to start heart medicines.
- You have at least two other long-term conditions.
- You likely had testing showing significant heart artery narrowing (blood-flow or imaging results).
- You are not currently taking BOTH a beta-blocker and a calcium channel blocker.
- You can join follow-up visits and give informed consent (you may need to speak English or Spanish).

This study tests a personalized approach to safely increase the dose of your heart failure medication (beta-blocker). It aims to improve your symptoms and overall heart function by tailoring the dose to your specific needs.
This study looks at an “informed” approach to help manage HFpEF (a type of heart failure) in people age 65 and older. It checks whether a structured plan and monitoring are practical and safe for you over time.
This study compares two approaches for treating chronic coronary syndrome (reduced blood flow to the heart causing chest pain). One approach combines a stent procedure with optimal medication, while the other uses only medications. The goal is to see which approach better prevents major heart problems over time.
This trial compares two beta-blocker medications, carvedilol and metoprolol succinate, to see which one works better for people with heart failure who have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). If you are currently taking metoprolol succinate, you may be able to switch to carvedilol and help researchers find the best treatment.
This study tests whether two common heart medicines, bisoprolol and verapamil, improve symptoms in adults with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It may help you and your care team understand which medicine works better for symptom control and heart function.
This study tests if specific heart medicines (like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers) can help people with chest pain that is not caused by blocked arteries. It aims to treat the tiny blood vessels or spasms that may be the real cause of your pain.
