Evaluating exercise testing for diagnosing coronary artery blockages

Official title: Evaluation of the Predictive Power of Double-product Increase Measured During an Exercise Test for the Prediction of Coronary Stenosis As Diagnosed by Cardiac CT Scan or Coronary Angiography.

Run by Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien · NCT05140434 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if exercise testing on a bike can help find blockages in the heart's arteries for people who might have coronary artery disease, so they might not need more invasive tests.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have undergone both exercise testing and cardiac imaging within the specified timeframe.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are unable to understand the study information or cannot participate in exercise testing will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to determine the effectiveness of exercise testing in detecting obstructions in coronary arteries, potentially reducing the need for invasive imaging procedures. Patients suspected of having coronary artery disease will undergo an exercise test on a bike while their EKG, blood pressure, and other parameters are monitored. The study will analyze the relationship between double product (a measure of myocardial oxygen consumption) during exercise and the presence of significant coronary artery stenosis, using data from both exercise tests and imaging studies conducted within a three-month period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to less invasive diagnostic methods for patients with coronary artery disease.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using exercise testing for diagnosing coronary artery disease, suggesting this approach may be effective.
