Comparing exercise tests for men and women with heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two different exercise test methods to see which works better for men and women with heart disease. The goal is to find a test that can help doctors design better exercise programs for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease by a doctor.
- You can walk on a treadmill and keep exercising until you feel you can't anymore.
- It has been at least 8 weeks since your last heart procedure or event (like a stent or heart attack).
- You can understand instructions in English or French.
- You do not have certain other heart or lung conditions that would make exercise testing unsafe.

This study looks at whether an “exercise heart test” can better diagnose blockage in the heart’s coronary arteries. Participants may also have a heart scan or imaging test for comparison, within a short time window.
This trial studies a new way to check for coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries) in people with chest pain or other symptoms that might be caused by it. The goal is to see if this method is accurate and helpful for diagnosing the condition.
This study compares two types of exercise training (high-intensity interval training vs. moderate-intensity continuous training) to see which is better for women with heart disease. You would be assigned randomly to one of the two exercise programs, and the study would last about 6 months.
This study compares two types of supervised exercise programs for people with heart disease: one with short bursts of high-intensity exercise (interval training) and one with a steady moderate pace. The goal is to see which better improves your heart's ability to work efficiently during exercise.
This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
This study tests a simple exercise test for people with coronary artery disease. You'll do a 6-minute arm exercise using a pegboard, and the researchers will check how well it measures your exercise ability.
