Heart artery pressure study for blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses special wires to measure pressure inside your heart arteries to understand how blockages affect blood flow. It may help doctors decide if you need a stent procedure to open a blocked artery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have a heart artery blockage that doctors have checked with a pressure wire and found it to be significant.
- The blockage is in the left front artery of your heart (LAD artery).
- You have not had bypass heart surgery before.
- Your kidney function is good (eGFR at least 30).
- You are willing to use a phone app for follow-up.

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 helps women with chest pain or heart symptoms who have normal-looking coronary arteries (the blood vessels that feed the heart). Researchers will perform specialized heart tests to understand why you have symptoms, then tailor treatment based on your specific condition.
This study is looking at people who have chest pain or shortness of breath but whose heart arteries look fairly open on an angiogram. It aims to understand why they have symptoms and how to improve care. You may qualify if you're having a coronary angiogram and it shows no major blockages.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
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.
