Plant-based diet for heart microvessel disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating a plant-based diet can improve symptoms of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), a condition where the tiny blood vessels in the heart don't work properly, causing chest pain. If you are a postmenopausal woman with CMD, this diet might help reduce your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman who has gone through menopause.
- You have had chest pain or other symptoms of heart ischemia, but tests show no blocked arteries.
- You have been diagnosed with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) by a doctor.
- Your heart medications have been stable for at least 2 months.
- You are willing to eat only the plant-based meals provided by the study.
- You are not currently vegetarian or vegan, and you do not have severe food allergies or dietary restrictions.

This trial is a registry, meaning it mainly collects information about people with coronary microvascular disease. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how it affects daily health and treatment needs.
This trial tests if exercise training can help people who have chest pain or shortness of breath even though their main heart arteries are not blocked. It focuses on those with small vessel disease in the heart, also known as INOCA.
This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in your heart (the microcirculation) that can cause chest pain even when the main arteries are open. It aims to better understand and treat this type of chest pain, called chronic coronary syndrome.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with chest pain caused by tiny heart blood vessel problems (microvascular dysfunction). It aims to see if exercise can improve symptoms and heart function.
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 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.
