Small heart vessel study for chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain or discomfort that is stable (not getting worse quickly) and your doctor has confirmed it's related to your heart.
- You've had a stress test that shows your heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen.
- You do NOT have significant blockages in your main heart arteries (like a blockage of 50% or more), and your small blood vessels may be the problem.
- You have not had a heart attack or a stent (angioplasty) in the last 90 days.
- You do not have serious kidney disease, severe heart failure, or other conditions like atrial fibrillation or recent heart surgery.

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 is collecting information about how well the tiny blood vessels in the heart work in people with chest pain. It helps doctors learn more about microcirculation problems and may lead to better treatments.
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose problems in the small blood vessels of the heart that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries look clear. The test uses a special technique to measure how well these small vessels work, which could help find the cause of your symptoms.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in the body to understand chest pain in women who have normal heart arteries. It aims to find a simpler way to check these vessels without invasive tests.
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.
