Ultrasound test to detect heart ischemia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to use ultrasound with a contrast agent to see if parts of the heart aren't getting enough blood flow (ischemia) in people who might be having a heart attack. It could help doctors diagnose and treat heart issues more quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are being evaluated for possible acute coronary syndrome, based on symptoms, ECG, or lab tests, and have a HEART score greater than 3
- You are not in cardiogenic shock, severe heart failure, or without a viable heartbeat
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no known allergy to ultrasound contrast agents or eggs
- You do not have neutropenia (very low white blood cell count) or an autoimmune/inflammatory disease affecting the heart

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares using a cardiac MRI before the standard catheterization (angiogram) in people with a suspected heart attack that doesn't show the typical ECG changes. It aims to see if the MRI can help guide decisions and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study tests a new magnetic heart scan (MCG) to see if it can better detect blocked arteries causing chest pain or heart attacks. It may help doctors decide the best treatment for you.
This study tests whether magnetocardiography—a scan that measures heart signals using magnets—can more accurately identify myocardial infarction (heart attack). It may help doctors detect heart attacks faster and more accurately using safer, non-invasive testing.
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
This study uses a special imaging technique to look at inflammation in the heart for people with myocarditis. It may help doctors better see and understand the condition.
This trial tests if a heart imaging scan (myocardial perfusion) can help doctors better diagnose heart attacks or other conditions in people who come to the hospital with chest pain but without ST elevation on their ECG. It aims to see if the scan adds valuable information before heart catheterization.
