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 uses a new type of CT scanner (photon counting CT) to see if it can better predict heart attacks in people with heart disease or symptoms like chest pain. The scan may help doctors find problems earlier and guide treatment.
This study uses a heart ultrasound (TTE) to help doctors better manage stable chest pain. If you have chest pain that may be from a blocked artery but haven't had a heart attack or heart procedures before, this trial could help improve your care.
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 tests whether using a detailed CT scan of your heart to plan the angioplasty procedure leads to better outcomes than the usual approach. The CT scan helps doctors see exactly where the blockages are, which may make the procedure safer and more effective.
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.
