New wireless catheter could spot hidden heart disease in chest pain patients
NCT ID NCT07453381
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new wireless pressure microcatheter to diagnose coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in people with chest pain but no major artery blockages. Researchers will compare the device's measurements to heart MRI scans in 114 participants. If accurate, it could offer a simpler way to detect this often-missed condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multi-sensor wireless pressure microcatheter
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more accurate and less invasive way to diagnose coronary microvascular dysfunction, helping doctors identify the cause of chest pain in patients with clear arteries.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 114 participants, and the device's accuracy is being compared to an imaging reference. It may not prove superior or widely applicable.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years, gender not limited; 2. Symptoms of angina pectoris, or objective evidence of myocardial ischemia (e.g., electrocardiogram, myocardial injury markers, etc.); 3. Visual assessment of coronary angiography shows diameter stenosis \< 50% and FFR \> 0.8 (or cRR \> 0.89); 4. Microvascular function assessment is planned; 5. Agree to participate in this clinical study and voluntarily sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acute myocardial infarction, PCI, CABG, or valvular surgery following angiography within the past 30 days; 2. Severe valvular disease requiring surgical or interventional treatment; 3. Chest pain with known non-ischemic causes (e.g., pericarditis, pulmonary hypertension, esophageal spasm); 4. Contraindications to CMR (e.g., certain types of pacemakers or defibrillators, severe claustrophobia); 5. Clear contraindications to adenosine and ATP use (e.g., second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, sick sinus syndrome, severe asthma, systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg); 6. Renal insufficiency (eGFR ≤ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2) or currently undergoing dialysis; 7. Severe heart failure or LVEF ≤ 35%; 8. Severe organ disease or life expectancy less than 2 years; 9. Known to be participating in other drug or device clinical trials that have not yet met the primary endpoint; 10. Other investigators deem the candidate unsuitable for this clinical trial.
