Measuring heart oxygen without needles in healthy adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a needle-free device to measure oxygen levels in the heart muscle of healthy adults. Your participation helps researchers better understand normal heart oxygen levels, which can improve future heart care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 45 years old or older.
- You should not have any known heart disease.
- Your blood pressure must not be too low (systolic at least 100 mmHg).
- You must be able to breathe faster when asked and lie flat on your back for 30–40 minutes.
- You cannot be pregnant, nursing, or have an IUD.

This trial uses a special MRI technique with carbon dioxide to check how well blood flows to your heart muscle. It might help doctors better understand blockages in the heart arteries.
This study measures oxygen levels in the heart muscle during open-heart surgery using a light-based technique. You may qualify if you are an adult scheduled for this surgery and can provide consent.
This study measures how well the heart uses oxygen during a breathing-based test. It aims to validate a way to assess heart blood flow in people with suspected or known coronary artery disease, using special heart imaging and a heart blood-flow measurement during an angiogram.
This study tests how well certain monitors measure oxygen and blood thickness in healthy volunteers. It helps improve devices used in hospitals to keep patients safe.
This study tests a new way to measure oxygen levels in your blood without using extra tubes or invasive techniques. It aims to make monitoring safer and more comfortable for patients on a breathing machine.
This study checks how well pulse oximeters (the devices that clip on your finger to measure oxygen levels) work when healthy people breathe lower-oxygen air. It helps make sure these devices are accurate for everyone.
