Use CT heart scans to predict outcomes and guide care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years
- You must be scheduled for a CT scan of the heart (CCTA) because your doctor recommends it
- You must be able to sign consent or have consent waived to join the study

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 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 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 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.
This study uses a new type of CT scanner to take pictures of your heart arteries. The goal is to see if this scanner can better detect and measure blockages, which may help your doctor decide the best treatment for you.
