Identifying causes of chest pain with unblocked arteries
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking at what causes chest pain in people whose heart arteries are not blocked, which is called coronary microvascular dysfunction. It uses tests and medicines to better understand the condition, which could help guide more personalized treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chest pain (angina) but your main heart arteries are not blocked.
- You do not have significantly narrowed heart arteries.
- You are able to do a bike exercise test.
- You have no medical reason to avoid a drug called adenosine.
- You do not use insulin with frequent low blood sugar episodes.

This study tests whether a daily pill called dapagliflozin can reduce chest pain and improve blood flow in people who have chest pain but no major blockages in their heart arteries. It may help if your heart's small blood vessels are not working properly.
This study looks at women who have chest pain but no major blockages in their heart arteries. It uses special tests to understand the cause and gives personalized treatment to help reduce symptoms and improve heart health.
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 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.
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 trial tests a diabetes medication called SGLT2 inhibitors to see if it can improve blood flow to the heart and reduce chest pain in women who have small vessel heart disease (microvascular dysfunction) but not blocked large arteries. Participants will take the medication and be monitored for symptom relief and heart function improvements.
