CT heart scan to guide care for stable chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a CT heart scan (CCTA) can better guide treatment decisions for people with stable chest pain caused by blocked heart arteries. It may help your care team choose the next best step based on scan results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have stable chest pain and a clinician suspects blocked heart arteries
- Your doctor is already planning to order a CCTA CT heart scan for this chest pain
- You can sign consent to join the study

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 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 trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
This trial compares two ways of deciding what to do next after a CT heart scan in people with stable chest pain. It looks at how well each approach helps doctors choose the safest next step (such as further testing or treatment).
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
This trial compares two ways to look at heart arteries: a CT scan (noninvasive) versus a traditional angiogram (a tube put into an artery). The goal is to see which is better for people having a certain type of heart attack.
