Imaging test for heart failure patients before revascularization
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a special imaging scan to see if heart muscle has damage from blocked arteries. It helps doctors decide if a procedure to open blocked arteries might improve your heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have heart failure caused by blocked arteries (ischemic heart failure).
- A heart artery scan shows that a stent or bypass surgery might help.
- Your heart failure symptoms limit your activity (NYHA class II to IV).
- You agree to take part and sign the consent form.

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.
This trial uses several types of heart imaging to diagnose heart failure where squeezing function is still fairly normal. It may help doctors sort out what’s causing your symptoms and guide better care by comparing imaging findings across many patients.
This study tests whether opening blocked heart arteries with stents can improve heart function in people with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease. It may be an option if your heart is weak and you have multiple blockages but no recent heart attack or dangerous rhythm.
This study uses special imaging scans (MRI and PET) to look at the health of the heart muscle in people with advanced heart failure caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to better predict recovery after bypass surgery.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
This trial tests a special heart scan (18F-MFBG) to see if it can help doctors better manage heart failure. You may qualify if you have chronic heart failure with a weak heart pump and are planning to get a defibrillator.
