Blood test during heart procedure to find disease markers
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special device to take a small blood sample from your heart arteries during a planned procedure. It aims to find unique markers that could help doctors better understand and treat coronary artery disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways of guiding a heart stent procedure: using information from a special angiography scan versus using standard practice. It may help your care team choose the best treatment to improve heart outcomes after stenting.
This study tests a new imaging technique to help doctors see inside your heart arteries during a stent procedure. It may help guide treatment and improve outcomes for people with heart disease.
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 collects blood samples and images from patients with heart muscle damage or those undergoing coronary angiography. The goal is to find new biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.
This trial uses special imaging to look at how blood flows through the heart's arteries. It aims to see if certain blood flow patterns can predict where harmful plaque (fatty buildups) may grow, which could help prevent future heart problems.
This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
