Evaluating heart function and blood flow in patients with coronary artery disease
Official title: Evaluation the Capabilities of Cardiac Mechanical Dyssynchrony in the Diagnosis of Myocardial Microvascular Dysfunction in Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease
Run by Tomsk National Research Medical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences · NCT06969547 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how well the heart works and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease by using special imaging and stress tests.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with ischemia but no obstructive coronary arteries, those with obstructive coronary artery disease, and patients without evidence of coronary heart disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant heart conditions such as severe left ventricular dysfunction or a history of myocardial infarction may 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 assess mechanical dyssynchrony of the left ventricle using SPECT imaging in patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction and chronic coronary heart disease. Participants will undergo a two-day protocol involving blood sampling and dynamic SPECT imaging, including a resting phase followed by stress testing with dobutamine. The study will categorize patients based on their myocardial blood flow reserve, providing insights into the relationship between mechanical dyssynchrony and coronary microvascular function.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of heart function in patients with coronary artery disease, leading to improved diagnostic and treatment strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using SPECT imaging for assessing myocardial blood flow is established, the specific focus on mechanical dyssynchrony in this context may provide novel insights.
