Chest pain and hidden cardiac amyloidosis study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks for signs of a condition called cardiac amyloidosis in people who have chest pain but no blocked heart arteries. It aims to find hidden cases that might be missed with standard tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain that needs to be checked.
- Tests show your heart arteries are clear of blockages (no significant coronary artery disease).
- You have not been diagnosed with amyloidosis before.

This study looks back at bone scans that were done for other reasons to see if they can spot a condition called cardiac amyloidosis, where abnormal protein builds up in the heart.
This study looks at how a type of heart condition called transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis changes over time, using a special imaging test called a bone scan. The goal is to see if the scan can help track the disease and potentially improve care.
This study tests a faster type of bone imaging scan to help diagnose a rare heart condition where an abnormal protein builds up in the heart muscle. Researchers want to see if this newer imaging method works better than standard scans for detecting this condition.
This trial aims to better diagnose cardiac amyloidosis — a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart — by testing whether certain warning signs (called 'red flags') can help identify it. If you have any of these signs, the study will use heart scans to confirm the diagnosis.
This study uses a special PET scan tracer to see how consistent the images are in people with heart amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal protein in the heart) and in people without the condition. The goal is to improve diagnosis and monitoring.
This study looks at how cardiac amyloidosis shows up on heart imaging, especially ultrasound (echocardiography). It may help doctors better describe and track the condition using your exam and test results.
