Beta-blockers for chest pain without blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if beta-blocker medication improves blood flow and reduces resistance in the tiny blood vessels of the heart in people who have chest pain but no major blockages in their arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a cardiac catheterization (angiogram) to check for chest pain.
- Your main heart arteries are not significantly blocked (less than 50% narrowing).
- Blood flow in your arteries appears normal on the angiogram.
- Your heart rate and blood pressure are stable and not too low.
- You do not have heart failure or severe valve disease.
- You have not had bypass surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a small device called a coronary sinus reducer that is placed in a vein of the heart to improve blood flow and reduce chest pain in people who still have angina despite medications and cannot have stents or bypass surgery. The procedure is done through a small tube in the groin or arm.
This trial tests if the drug nebivolol reduces chest pain in people who have chest pain but no major blockages in their heart arteries. It looks at whether the small blood vessels in the heart are not working properly, which can cause 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 heart medication (a cardio-selective beta-blocker) given during a heart attack to see if it reduces damage to the heart muscle. It might help people having their first heart attack who are treated quickly with angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries).
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 looks at people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their heart arteries. It aims to understand how the tiny blood vessels and artery spasms might be causing symptoms, using special heart tests.
