Personalized medicine for heart muscle bridges
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial aims to better understand and treat a condition called a myocardial bridge, where a heart artery tunnels through the heart muscle instead of sitting on top. It tests whether a more personalized approach, using special medications during heart catheterization, can improve care for people with symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have a myocardial bridge found during a recent heart catheterization
- Have symptoms or test results showing your heart isn't getting enough blood in the area of the bridge
- Have no other serious blockages (≥ 50%) in your heart arteries
- Have no history of stroke, bleeding in the brain, or brain tumors

This trial tests whether bypass surgery is effective for people with a myocardial bridge (a heart muscle that arches over an artery) that still causes symptoms despite medication. It aims to see if surgery can improve symptoms and outcomes.
This study is looking at people who have chest pain or shortness of breath but whose heart arteries look fairly open on an angiogram. It aims to understand why they have symptoms and how to improve care. You may qualify if you're having a coronary angiogram and it shows no major blockages.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive heart mapping technique can guide treatment for stable coronary artery disease, potentially avoiding more expensive or invasive tests. You may join if you have stable angina and a blockage of 50-90% in a major heart artery.
This trial studies people who have chest pain (angina) due to problems with the heart’s small arteries, not a big blockage. It aims to test whether treatment approaches can help these patients by better understanding the cause of their heart-related symptoms.
This study tests if specific heart medicines (like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers) can help people with chest pain that is not caused by blocked arteries. It aims to treat the tiny blood vessels or spasms that may be the real cause of your pain.
This trial tests a new imaging technique called μFR to help doctors decide which blockages in your heart arteries need treatment after you've had a heart attack. It may help identify which blockages are most dangerous and need fixing soon versus those that can wait.
