Heart artery blockage and blood sugar test
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a blood test called the triglyceride-glucose index can help predict blockages in heart arteries. If you are not obese and are scheduled for a heart angiogram, this test might help doctors understand your risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a heart catheterization (angiogram) to check your arteries.
- You are not obese, meaning your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or lower.
- You do not have a history of conditions like atrial fibrillation, pacemaker, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, pregnancy, anemia, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, or peripheral artery disease.

This study looks at whether a simple heart test can predict how well your body has built extra blood vessels to get around a completely blocked artery. It may help doctors understand your condition better without extra procedures.
This study looks at a simple blood test called the triglyceride-glucose index. If you have had a heart attack without major blockages (MINOCA), the study will check whether this index can help predict your future risk of heart problems, which could guide your treatment and follow-up care.
This trial studies whether a simple blood test called the triglyceride glucose index can help doctors understand heart artery disease in younger patients who do not have diabetes. It may lead to better ways to assess heart risk and guide treatment.
This study looks at people with a long-standing complete blockage in a heart artery. The goal is to understand risk factors and outcomes, which may help guide future treatments.
This study is testing whether a new blood test can detect the amount of plaque buildup in your heart arteries compared to what a CT scan shows. It may help people with known or suspected coronary artery disease get a simpler, faster way to check their heart health.
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.
