Using exercise tests to tell apart heart artery disease and thickened heart muscle
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses an exercise test and heart imaging to tell apart two conditions that both affect the heart: coronary artery disease and thickened heart muscle. It may help doctors better decide which one you have.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (narrowed or blocked heart arteries)
- You must also have left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the heart's main pumping chamber)
- You must not have right bundle branch block (a type of heart electrical delay)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks at how well heart ultrasound (echocardiography) images and clinical information can be used to diagnose cardiac conditions. If you have a clear ultrasound study already or can get one with good image quality, your information may help improve diagnostic accuracy.
This study looks at the heart's main pumping chamber in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand and manage heart changes that often happen with kidney problems.
This study looks at whether an “exercise heart test” can better diagnose blockage in the heart’s coronary arteries. Participants may also have a heart scan or imaging test for comparison, within a short time window.
This study looks at people with coronary artery disease (narrowed or blocked heart arteries) to see how different imaging and function tests can help predict outcomes. If you've had a heart procedure or test showing blockages, you might be eligible.
This study compares two different exercise test methods to see which works better for men and women with heart disease. The goal is to find a test that can help doctors design better exercise programs for you.
This study is a registry that collects information from people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who undergo cardiac MRI (a detailed heart scan). It aims to better understand how this condition affects the heart and may help improve future care.
