Blood test may spot tiny heart blockages in transplant patients
NCT ID NCT05756088
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a simple blood test could find blockages in the small blood vessels of the heart in people who have had a heart transplant. Participants would have had blood draws every three months for a year, and their medical records would have been reviewed for three years. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
