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 compares two types of exercise programs for people recovering from heart disease. You'll do either short bursts of intense exercise or steady, moderate exercise to see which helps your heart function and fitness improve more.
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 study screens people with chest symptoms to see who might have coronary artery disease (CAD) when it’s not clear from symptoms alone. It may help doctors choose the right imaging tests for more accurate answers and safer care.
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 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 looks at how exercise test results predict outcomes for people with coronary heart disease (blocked arteries in the heart). Researchers will review past medical records to understand which test measurements matter most for predicting patient health.
