Exercise training for chest pain with clear arteries
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This research study looks at why people with chest pain but clear heart arteries have low fitness. It tests whether a home-based interval training program (short bursts of hard exercise) can improve fitness and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if exercise training can help people who have chest pain or shortness of breath even though their main heart arteries are not blocked. It focuses on those with small vessel disease in the heart, also known as INOCA.
This study tests whether a special exercise program can help women who have chest pain that is not caused by blocked heart arteries (called ANOCA). It aims to see if exercise can improve symptoms and quality of life.
This study compares two types of exercise training (high-intensity interval training vs. moderate-intensity continuous training) to see which is better for women with heart disease. You would be assigned randomly to one of the two exercise programs, and the study would last about 6 months.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with chest pain caused by tiny heart blood vessel problems (microvascular dysfunction). It aims to see if exercise can improve symptoms and heart function.
This study looks at why some people have chest pain or other heart symptoms even when their main heart arteries are not blocked. It tests whether inflammation in the small blood vessels of the heart might cause these symptoms, and aims to understand how to better diagnose and treat this condition.
This study looks at whether aerobic exercise can improve blood vessel health in people who have had a heart attack or chest pain (angina). If you qualify, you'll join a monitored exercise program.
