Imaging heart and blood vessel health
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses advanced imaging (PET scans) to look at how well blood vessels and organs are working, which may help understand heart disease. It is open to people with heart disease and also to healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- If you have heart disease, you need a confirmed diagnosis or a recent heart stress test.
- If you are healthy, you must not have had heart, metabolic, or cancer diagnoses in the past 5 years.
- You cannot weigh more than 300 pounds.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must be able to lie still inside a scanner without feeling too anxious in small spaces.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a new imaging method (68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR) to better see and understand heart problems. It might help doctors diagnose or monitor conditions like heart failure or inflammation.
This study uses a single injection and a special type of PET scan to look at how your body's tissues use fuel (metabolism). It helps researchers learn more about normal and disease-related changes in the heart, liver, and other organs.
This study uses a special imaging technique called FDG-PET to look at infections in implanted heart devices. It aims to see if computer analysis of the images can help doctors diagnose and monitor these infections more accurately.
This trial tests a very low dose of a radioactive tracer (18F-flurpiridaz) for PET scans of the heart. It aims to see if using less radiation still produces clear images, which may be safer for patients who need repeated scans.
This study uses a special PET scan to see how a new imaging agent behaves in the body. It is for healthy people to help future research on inflammation.
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
