Heart timing test may spot hidden vessel disease
NCT ID NCT06969547
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a special heart scan (SPECT) can detect problems in the heart's smallest blood vessels, called microvascular dysfunction. Researchers will measure how the heart muscle moves and pumps blood in 75 people with and without coronary artery disease. The goal is to see if this scan can reliably diagnose a condition that often goes undetected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dynamic SPECT scan (diagnostic test)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new, non-invasive way to diagnose microvascular dysfunction in the heart, potentially improving detection and management.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (75 people) focused on diagnosis, not treatment. The test may not prove accurate enough for wider use, and results may not apply to all heart disease patients.
