Study of blood vessel function in type 2 heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how small blood vessels in the heart work in people who have had a type 2 heart attack. It aims to understand why this happens and how to better treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a type 2 heart attack, confirmed by a rise in troponin and symptoms or signs of heart muscle strain.
- Your heart structure is normal, with no significant valve disease.
- You do not have significant blockages in your heart arteries.
- You are able to receive heparin and other medications used in the test.
- You have not had heart bypass surgery.
- You are not pregnant or willing to have a pregnancy test.
- You do not have severe asthma that required intensive care.

This trial looks at how to assess small blood-vessel (microvascular) problems in people who had a heart attack but whose main heart arteries are not blocked. It may help doctors better find what’s driving symptoms and choose the right tests and treatments.
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 looks at coronary microvascular dysfunction (small blood vessel problems in the heart) using heart imaging. It may help researchers understand causes of chest tightness with activity and shortness of breath when the main heart arteries are not blocked.
This study looks at arteries in the heart that aren't the one that caused the heart attack. It uses a special CT scan to understand these arteries better in people who have already had a procedure to open the blocked artery.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in your heart (the microcirculation) that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries are open. It aims to better understand and treat this type of chest pain, called chronic coronary syndrome.
This study tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
