Free heart calcium scan program at University Hospitals
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking at people who already received a free coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scan through a community screening program at University Hospitals. It may help the hospital understand who benefits from offering these no-cost scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scan at University Hospitals Cleveland.
- Your scan was done starting on January 1, 2014.
- You were part of the no-cost community screening program (as indicated by the scan records).

This study looks at how giving people their Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score report—directly to them—affects what they do next. It may help explain whether patient-directed reporting improves understanding and follow-up after the scan.
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 trial uses a special CT scan of the heart’s arteries to better predict who is at risk of future heart problems. It may help your care team decide how best to lower risk early.
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 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 trial studies whether doing a heart CT scan to look at heart artery narrowing, along with follow-up care, can help prevent coronary heart disease in people who have risk factors but no known heart artery disease yet. You may qualify if you live in Nanjing, are age 40–69, and have certain risk factors.
