Heart imaging for moderate blockages in stable heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining two advanced imaging tests (FFR and OCT) can help doctors better decide treatment for moderate blockages in heart arteries. If you have stable chest pain or a positive stress test and a moderate narrowing, this study may help guide your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have stable chest pain (CCS class 2-3) or a positive test for reduced blood flow to your heart (like a stress test or SPECT).
- You have a moderate narrowing (40-80%) in a heart artery seen on an angiogram.
- You are willing to have two special tests on the same artery: FFR (measures pressure) and OCT (takes a picture from inside the artery).
- You do not have a recent heart attack, unstable angina, or other serious heart conditions.
- You are not pregnant and do not have severe kidney failure or a contraindication to adenosine.

This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in the heart using a special SPECT/CT scan. It is for people who have mild to moderate blockages in their heart arteries and may benefit from more detailed imaging to guide their treatment.
This study tests whether a CT scan combined with blood-flow measurements can better predict which heart artery blockages are serious. It may help avoid unnecessary invasive tests.
This trial uses a special camera called OCT to take detailed pictures of the heart's arteries. It aims to see if these pictures help doctors better understand blockages and decide on treatment for stable chest pain.
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (IVUS and FFR) to see which better identifies blockages that need treatment. It may help doctors decide the best care for people with chest pain or recent heart attacks.
This study helps collect measurement data during a heart catheter procedure when coronary disease is suspected. You may be eligible if you’re having a catheter-based evaluation and doctors plan to assess blood flow to determine how severe a new heart blockage is.
This trial uses a special light-based scan (optical coherence tomography, or OCT) to help doctors see inside your heart arteries and find the exact blockage causing your heart attack. It may help guide treatment more precisely.
