Angina thresholds study for patients needing stent treatment
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to measure blood flow in the heart during exercise to better understand angina. You may be eligible if you have at least two blocked heart arteries and are scheduled for stent placement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain or shortness of breath when active and are eligible for stents
- You have two severe blockages in major heart arteries, confirmed by a heart scan or angiogram
- You have evidence of reduced blood flow to the heart from a stress test like an echo, MRI, or nuclear scan
- You are 18 or older and able to exercise on a stationary bike
- You have not had a heart attack or unstable angina in the last 3 months
- You have not had bypass surgery or a complete blockage in the target artery

This study looks at why some people still have chest pain (angina) even after a successful heart stent procedure (PCI). You will have a heart MRI (stress CMR) before the stent procedure, and doctors will measure blood flow in your heart arteries during and after the procedure.
This study tests a detailed diagnostic procedure during heart catheterization for patients who previously had stents placed and now have chest pain or signs of heart stress. The goal is to better understand blood flow in treated arteries to guide treatment decisions.
This study aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
This study tests a new way to find which blocked heart arteries are causing your chest pain. During a stent procedure, doctors will briefly block each artery to see which one triggers your symptoms. This might help them decide which blockages to treat.
This study checks how severely blocked a coronary artery is using measurements taken during a planned heart catheterization, to help guide whether and how to do a stent (PCI). It may help doctors choose the best treatment plan for people with about 70% or more narrowing.
This Phase 4 study tests a way to measure blood flow in heart arteries to help doctors choose the best stent plan. It may help improve safety and effectiveness for people having elective heart stent procedures for stable angina or certain heart attacks.
