Sound-based heart test for stable chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new, painless device that uses sound waves to check for blocked heart arteries. It could help your doctor find out if you have coronary artery disease without more invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 30 years or older.
- You need to have symptoms like chest pain or tightness that started recently and are stable (not getting worse).
- You cannot have had a heart attack, heart stent, or heart bypass surgery before.
- You cannot have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, mechanical heart, or heart pump.
- You cannot have an irregular heartbeat (other than normal rhythm).
- The skin where the device is placed on your left chest must be healthy, without major scars or abnormalities.

This study uses sound recordings from your heart (during an ultrasound) to see if it can detect early signs of heart disease. If you are already scheduled for both a heart ultrasound and an angiogram (a dye test of your heart arteries) at Cambridge, your participation may help find heart problems sooner.
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
This study tests a detailed diagnostic procedure during heart catheterization for patients who previously had stents placed and now have chest pain or signs of heart stress. The goal is to better understand blood flow in treated arteries to guide treatment decisions.
This study uses artificial intelligence to better understand chest pain in people without blocked heart arteries. It may help find the cause of your symptoms and guide your treatment.
This trial uses a special MRI technique with carbon dioxide to check how well blood flows to your heart muscle. It might help doctors better understand blockages in the heart arteries.
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.
