Heart microvessel function test for heart failure recovery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how tiny blood vessels in the heart affect improvement in heart pumping strength for people with heart failure. It tests whether a special procedure during heart catheterization can predict recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 19 years or older.
- You have heart failure symptoms like shortness of breath (NYHA class 2 or higher) and a low pumping strength (LVEF 40% or lower).
- You need to have a heart catheterization (an angiogram) as part of your care.
- You cannot have severe blockages in your heart's major arteries.
- You are not scheduled for a heart transplant or a heart pump (LVAD).

This study checks if tiny blood vessel problems in the heart affect how well the heart muscle recovers after being weak. It uses special imaging during a routine heart catheterization to look at these small vessels.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with chest pain caused by tiny heart blood vessel problems (microvascular dysfunction). It aims to see if exercise can improve symptoms and heart function.
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.
This trial tests a new device that delivers a gentle electrical current to the heart to improve its pumping strength. It is for people with a certain type of heart failure caused by weak heart muscle, not a blocked artery.
This trial tests a special wireless pressure catheter to see how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their main heart arteries.
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.
