N-acetylcysteine for chest pain without heart artery blockages
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a supplement with antioxidant properties, can reduce chest pain in women whose heart arteries are not significantly blocked. It aims to see if NAC helps manage angina symptoms that aren't caused by narrow arteries.
