Blood vessel aging and heart attack risk study
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessel aging relates to the type of fatty buildup in your arteries that can cause heart attacks. If you've had a recent heart attack, chest pain (angina), or minor artery disease and do not have advanced heart failure, kidney failure, active cancer, or prior bypass surgery, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a heart attack, unstable angina (chest pain at rest), stable angina (chest pain with effort), or minor coronary disease found during a test.
- You are NOT in cardiogenic shock (severe low blood pressure from heart problems) or congestive heart failure (fluid buildup causing breathing trouble).
- You do NOT have end-stage kidney disease (kidney failure needing dialysis or transplant).
- You do NOT have an active cancer (one that is being treated or growing).
- You have NOT had a coronary artery bypass graft (heart bypass surgery) in the past.

This study uses heart scans and blood tests to build a tool that predicts whether older adults with narrowed heart arteries might need a procedure to improve blood flow. If you are 70 or older with blockages in multiple heart arteries, this research may help guide your care.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in your heart (the microcirculation) that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries are open. It aims to better understand and treat this type of chest pain, called chronic coronary syndrome.
This study looks at two blood markers (mean platelet volume and systemic inflammatory response index) to see if they help predict outcomes in people admitted with a heart attack or unstable angina. If you've had chest pain from a heart condition and get to the hospital quickly, this could be relevant for you.
This study looks at the health outcomes of people with common heart conditions like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. It may help researchers understand how these conditions progress and how to better manage them.
This study looks at why some people have chest pain or other heart symptoms even when their main heart arteries are not blocked. It tests whether inflammation in the small blood vessels of the heart might cause these symptoms, and aims to understand how to better diagnose and treat this condition.
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.
