CT scan heart test vs pressure test planning for stable chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of deciding what to do next after a CT heart scan in people with stable chest pain. It looks at how well each approach helps doctors choose the safest next step (such as further testing or treatment).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and have stable chest pain (not sudden or worsening).
- You had a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) showing at least one artery narrowing of about 50% to 90%.
- The artery section to be evaluated is large enough (at least 2.5 mm) for the doctors’ measurements.
- You’re able and willing to have an invasive heart catheter test (coronary angiography).
- You can follow study procedures and give voluntary consent.

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 trial compares two non-invasive ways to measure blood flow in narrowed heart arteries. If you have stable or unstable chest pain or had a heart attack more than 72 hours ago and a CT shows a moderate blockage (70-90% narrowed), you might be eligible.
This trial studies whether a CT heart scan (CCTA) can better guide treatment decisions for people with stable chest pain caused by blocked heart arteries. It may help your care team choose the next best step based on scan results.
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (stress echo with ultrasound of the neck, and a CT scan) to see which one better helps guide treatment for people with chest pain that might be from heart disease. If you have chest pain that is typical for heart disease, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
This trial tests whether a CT scan of the heart arteries is a safe and effective alternative to standard follow-up tests in people who have had a stent or drug-coated balloon placed in a high-risk coronary artery. It may help reduce the need for additional invasive procedures.
