Decision aid for heart artery treatment choices
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new tool to help patients and doctors decide together on the best procedure (like stents or bypass surgery) for blocked heart arteries. It aims to make the decision process clearer and more personalized.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a procedure to open blocked heart arteries, or you are waiting for one.
- You can speak and understand English, or one of the listed languages (for the feasibility part: English, Polish, Romanian, Urdu, Panjabi, or Gujarati).
- You are willing to take part in a workshop, focus group, or questionnaire about the decision-making tool.
- Your doctor has not already said that one type of procedure is clearly better for you.

This study is testing an online tool called 'My Heart and CKD' that helps people with both chronic kidney disease and heart disease make decisions about their care. The goal is to see if it is easy to use and helpful for patients and their doctors.
This study compares two ways of deciding on heart treatment for people with diabetes and blockages in all three main heart arteries. You'll be assigned by chance to either have a team of heart specialists discuss your case in real time (using an electronic system) or receive the usual way of making the decision, to see if one leads to better outcomes.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This study compares two ways to open blocked heart arteries: one uses a balloon coated with medicine, and the other uses a small mesh tube (stent) that releases medicine. The goal is to see which works better for people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
This trial studies a new way to check for coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries) in people with chest pain or other symptoms that might be caused by it. The goal is to see if this method is accurate and helpful for diagnosing the condition.
This study is testing a new computer program that helps doctors see if you have coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart's blood vessels). It looks back at past CT scans of the heart to see if the software works well compared to other tests.
