Heart ultrasound for stable chest pain management
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses a heart ultrasound (TTE) to help doctors better manage stable chest pain. If you have chest pain that may be from a blocked artery but haven't had a heart attack or heart procedures before, this trial could help improve your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain that your doctor thinks may be from a blocked heart artery, but it has been stable (not getting worse).
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have not had a heart attack, stent, or bypass surgery in the past.
- Your heart rhythm is normal (not atrial fibrillation, for example).
- You do not have other heart problems like a weak heart muscle, valve disease, or a hole in the heart.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a CT heart scan (CCTA) can better guide treatment decisions for people with stable chest pain caused by blocked heart arteries. It may help your care team choose the next best step based on scan results.
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 trial compares two heart imaging tests (stress echo with ultrasound of the neck, and a CT scan) to see which one better helps guide treatment for people with chest pain that might be from heart disease. If you have chest pain that is typical for heart disease, you may be able to join.
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 trial tests whether using a special heart CT scan (with blood-flow analysis) can better guide care for people who come to the ER with chest pain and are at medium risk for heart problems. It might help avoid unnecessary procedures and find real blockages sooner.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive heart mapping technique can guide treatment for stable coronary artery disease, potentially avoiding more expensive or invasive tests. You may join if you have stable angina and a blockage of 50-90% in a major heart artery.
