Heart artery imaging study for chest pain and heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera (OCT) to look inside heart arteries during a routine procedure (angiogram). The goal is to see if a computer can help doctors make better treatment choices for people with unstable angina (chest pain) or recent heart attacks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You are having a heart catheterization (dye test of heart arteries) and an OCT scan during it.
- You have unstable angina (chest pain) or had a heart attack recently (STEMI or NSTEMI).
- You have not had bypass surgery before.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney disease, active infections, cancer, or bleeding problems.

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 trial tests a new CT scanner (photon-counting CT) combined with a tiny camera inside the heart arteries to better see blockages. It's for people with chest pain or silent ischemia, but not for those having a big heart attack (STEMI) or with unstable conditions.
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 is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
This study is tracking patients who receive a special type of imaging (like an ultrasound) on their heart arteries before a procedure. It aims to learn more about how this imaging helps guide care.
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.
