New heart scan could spot salvageable muscle after attack
NCT ID NCT07443696
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new PET imaging method that uses a special tracer called XTR003 along with FDG to see which parts of the heart are still alive in people with heart failure from blocked arteries. About 40 to 60 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new fasting imaging method or a standard glucose-loaded scan. The goal is to see if the new method better predicts which heart regions will improve after surgery to restore blood flow.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- XTR003 injection (a fatty-acid tracer for PET imaging)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging method could help doctors better identify which heart muscle is still alive and could recover after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 40-60 participants. The new imaging method may not prove more accurate than existing tests, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18 to 85 years, regardless of gender. 2. Diagnosed with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). 3. significant coronary artery disease (CAD). 4. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction, with LVEF ranging from \>20% to ≤40% 5. Assessed by a team of cardiac surgeons/operators as suitable for complete revascularization. 6. Capable of effective communication with the investigators, able to understand and comply with the clinical study requirements, voluntarily participate in the study, and provide written informed consent after being fully informed. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Decompensated heart failure within 48 hours prior to enrollment. 2. Recent ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) within less than 4 weeks. 3. Left ventricular aneurysm. 4. Judged by the investigator as unable to complete PET examination. 5. Severe renal insufficiency. 6. Severe hepatic insufficiency. 7. Subjects with fever or active infectious diseases who are assessed by the investigator as unsuitable for study participation. 8. Pregnant or lactating women. 9. Contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), such as claustrophobia or intracorporeal metallic implants. 10. Subjects with mental disorders or poor compliance. 11. Significant occupational exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., exceeding 50 mSv per year) or exposure to radioactive substances/ionizing radiation for therapeutic or research purposes within the past 10 years. 12. Other circumstances deemed by the investigator as unsuitable for trial participation.
