Summary
This trial is testing if using carbon dioxide can help measure blood flow in the hearts of people with heart disease.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with coronary artery disease. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants would need to meet certain health conditions and agree to the study's procedures.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing RespirAct, a method using carbon dioxide to assess blood flow in the coronary arteries. It's a pilot study focusing on how safe and feasible this technique is for patients with heart issues.
What are the potential side effects?
Since detailed side effects are not listed, generally speaking, introducing carbon dioxide might cause discomfort or changes in breathing patterns; however, specifics will be monitored during the trial.
