ANGINA PECTORIS

This study looks at whether opening a completely blocked heart artery with a procedure called PCI, on top of taking standard heart medications, helps people live longer and feel better compared to medications alone. About 2000 adults with stable heart disease and symptoms like ch…

This study compares two types of drug-coated stents (SYNERGY and BioMatrix NeoFlex) in 160 patients with coronary artery disease. Researchers use a special camera to check how well the stents heal inside the artery at 1 and 3 months after placement. The goal is to see which stent…

This study looks at a new way to treat severe, long-term blockages in heart arteries (CTO). Instead of one long procedure, doctors will plan two shorter procedures. The goal is to see if this approach is safer, more successful, and better for patients. About 200 people with high-…

This study will follow 800 adults in Turkey with high blood pressure or chronic chest pain (angina) who are already taking benidipine. Researchers will track how well the drug controls blood pressure and eases chest pain symptoms over time. The goal is to see how benidipine works…

This large UK study (EVAREST) aims to improve how doctors interpret stress echocardiograms for diagnosing coronary artery disease. Researchers will collect blood samples and analyze echocardiogram images from up to 23,000 patients to find new biomarkers that make diagnosis more a…

This study tests whether personalized risk models can safely reduce the number of diagnostic tests for people with new chest pain. Researchers will enroll 2,000 adults aged 30-75 and compare the model-based approach to standard care. They will also test a new laser method to meas…

This study is testing a device called the Neovasc Reducer in 400 people with chronic stable angina who have not found relief from standard treatments. The device is implanted to improve blood flow and reduce chest pain. Researchers will track symptom improvement and any serious s…

This study looks at 320 people with complex coronary artery disease who need a stent. It compares using a special camera (OCT) versus standard X-ray (angiography) to guide the stent placement. The goal is to see which method leads to better blood flow after the procedure.

This study looks at whether artificial intelligence can improve predictions of serious heart events in people with chest pain. Researchers will analyze stress echocardiogram results and routine medical data from about 2,281 adults. No extra visits or tests are needed for particip…
