A test for arm function and breathing in heart artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how well a simple arm exercise test (6-minute pegboard and ring test) works for people with coronary artery disease. It checks if the test is reliable and valid to measure your arm function and breathing during activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries) by a special heart scan or angiogram.
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You are clinically stable (no recent heart attack or unstable symptoms).
- You do not have heart failure, moderate-to-severe valve disease, or a history of bypass surgery.
- You do not have other medical conditions (bone, joint, nerve, lung) that would make it hard to exercise or affect your test results.

This study looks at how well people who are overweight or obese can use their arms and breathe while performing a 6-minute pegboard and ring test. Researchers want to see if this test can help measure physical function in this group.
This trial uses a special arm exercise test (CPETarm) to help doctors better understand risks for people with severe leg artery disease (chronic limb threatening ischemia). It may help guide treatment decisions before a procedure like bypass surgery or amputation.
This study compares two different exercise test methods to see which works better for men and women with heart disease. The goal is to find a test that can help doctors design better exercise programs for you.
This study measures how well the heart uses oxygen during a breathing-based test. It aims to validate a way to assess heart blood flow in people with suspected or known coronary artery disease, using special heart imaging and a heart blood-flow measurement during an angiogram.
This study tests a new way to measure small blood vessel function in people with chest pain but clear main arteries. It aims to find hidden causes of discomfort so doctors can choose the right treatment.
This study tests how well people with peripheral artery disease can use a treadmill for exercise testing. It may help doctors better understand exercise limits and guide safer care.
