Heart blood flow imaging study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special heart scan that measures blood flow to the heart muscle. It may help doctors decide if your heart blockages need treatment or if medication is enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a heart scan or procedure showing mild or moderate blockages in your heart arteries.
- Your heart's pumping function is at least 35%.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had previous heart procedures like stents or bypass surgery.
- You are able to have a stress test for the scan.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special MRI technique with carbon dioxide to check how well blood flows to your heart muscle. It might help doctors better understand blockages in the heart arteries.
This study compares two imaging tests to see which one better finds blocked heart arteries that cause chest pain. You will get both scans during a stress test to help doctors choose the best way to diagnose heart disease.
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (SPECT and coronary CTA) to see if a newer method gives a clearer picture of blood flow. If you have been referred for one of these tests, you may be able to help by also having the other test done at no extra risk.
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 study looks at specific blood-flow and heart-rhythm signals during an exercise test to find signs of reduced blood flow to the heart. It may help doctors spot heart problems sooner and decide who needs more care.
This study tests a new imaging agent (99mTc-EC-DG) to see if it can help doctors evaluate coronary artery disease (blockages in heart blood vessels) during a nuclear heart scan. Participation involves two stress/rest scans and a heart catheterization. It may help improve how doctors diagnose and manage coronary artery disease.
