New catheter to check small heart vessels in people with chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special wireless pressure catheter to see how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart are working. It may help people who have chest pain but don't have major blockages in their main heart arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have chest pain or signs that your heart isn't getting enough blood.
- Your main heart arteries look clear on an angiogram (less than 50% blockage) and a pressure test shows good blood flow.
- You're planning to have a test that checks your heart's small blood vessels.
- You agree to join the study and sign a consent form.

This study is testing a new way to measure blood flow in the heart's small arteries (called caIMR) to help doctors decide on the best treatment for people with certain types of chest pain or suspected reduced blood flow. It is for patients who do not have major blockages but might still have issues in the small vessels or along a long segment of the artery.
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 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 trial tests whether a non-invasive heart mapping technique can guide treatment for stable coronary artery disease, potentially avoiding more expensive or invasive tests. You may join if you have stable angina and a blockage of 50-90% in a major heart artery.
This study tests a new way to diagnose small blood vessel disease in the heart using an MRI scan during a stress test. It is for people who are already participating in a larger heart imaging study and are scheduled for a catheter procedure.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in your heart (the microcirculation) that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries are open. It aims to better understand and treat this type of chest pain, called chronic coronary syndrome.
