CT scan study for heart artery disease risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a CT heart scan (with a calcium score) to better understand risk in people with suspected coronary artery disease. You may be asked to have scan-based measurements and then be followed for at least a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a CT heart scan that includes a calcium score.
- You must have a heart CT done on certain scanner types (at least 64-slice, or a 16-slice scanner with long-term follow-up).
- Your records must include at least 12 months of follow-up with complete clinical information.
- You should be being evaluated for suspected coronary artery disease (not already confirmed as fully treated).
- You should not have kidney problems severe enough to reduce clearance below 60 mL/min.

This study looks at how likely people are to have coronary artery disease (heart artery blockage) based on results from CT scans. It may help doctors better estimate risk and decide what follow-up care you may need.
This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
This trial uses a special computer program to look at your heart CT scan and measure inflammation and risk of heart problems. It may help doctors better understand your risk and guide your treatment.
This study uses a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to look at plaque and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease. It may help match your scan results with heart measurements and guide future care decisions.
This study tests a newer type of CT scan (photon counting) to see if it can better predict which patients with heart disease or chest pain symptoms are at risk for a heart attack. The scan uses imaging technology that may provide clearer images and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
This study looks at people who are having a CT scan of their heart because it’s medically needed. Researchers will use the scan results to better predict future cardiovascular outcomes and improve how care decisions are made.
