National heart scan registry for plaque research
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects information from patients having a heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to better understand plaque buildup in the arteries. By joining, you help doctors learn more about preventing heart attacks and improving heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to be scheduled for a heart CT scan (called a coronary CTA) for a medical reason.
- You must not have sudden chest pain, unstable blood pressure, severe heart failure, or other signs of an emergency heart condition.
- You must not have had a heart attack within the last 30 days.
- You must not be pregnant or have unknown pregnancy status if you can become pregnant.
- You need to be able to follow the study procedures and give written consent.

This is a research registry that follows people who are already getting a CT scan of their heart arteries for medical reasons. It aims to better understand how these scans relate to future heart outcomes, while collecting follow-up health information.
This study tracks coronary plaque (fatty deposits in heart arteries) in South Asian adults and compares them with people of other backgrounds. You may be asked to have a special heart CT scan and basic measurements to help researchers understand differences in heart disease risk.
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 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.
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 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.
