Better imaging for heart artery blockages in stable angina
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses advanced imaging techniques to look at the build-up inside heart arteries in people with stable angina. It aims to help doctors understand and treat these blockages more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 79 years old.
- You have stable angina (chest pain with activity) and have had a CT scan showing a blockage that needs more checks.
- You are able to have a procedure to open the artery (PCI) with a tiny ultrasound camera.
- You do not have recent heart attack (within 3 months), kidney problems, or previous bypass surgery.
- You can take blood thinners like aspirin or heparin.
- You are not pregnant and have a life expectancy of more than 1 year.

This trial uses special imaging to look at how blood flows through the heart's arteries. It aims to see if certain blood flow patterns can predict where harmful plaque (fatty buildups) may grow, which could help prevent future heart problems.
This trial uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in three main heart arteries. It may help doctors better understand blockages and improve treatment planning.
This study looks at arteries in the heart that aren't the one that caused the heart attack. It uses a special CT scan to understand these arteries better in people who have already had a procedure to open the blocked artery.
This study tests a non-invasive CT scan method to detect blockages in the heart arteries in people with suspected stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to find a safe and accurate way to diagnose without invasive procedures.
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 uses a special light-based scan (optical coherence tomography, or OCT) to help doctors see inside your heart arteries and find the exact blockage causing your heart attack. It may help guide treatment more precisely.
