Simple skin test may spare women from invasive heart procedures
NCT ID NCT07558018
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a noninvasive skin test can accurately diagnose microvascular heart problems in women who have chest pain but clear major arteries. Researchers will compare skin blood vessel function with invasive heart measurements in 60 women. If the skin test works, it could replace risky catheter procedures for many patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, noninvasive way to diagnose microvascular heart problems in women, avoiding risky catheter procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (60 people) that hasn't started recruiting yet. The skin test may not accurately reflect heart blood vessel function, and results may not apply to all patients.
