Study of early heart artery disease in South Asians
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at early buildup of plaque in heart arteries in young adults from Pakistan. It may help doctors understand why this happens earlier and guide better prevention and screening.

This study is testing whether a new blood test can detect the amount of plaque buildup in your heart arteries compared to what a CT scan shows. It may help people with known or suspected coronary artery disease get a simpler, faster way to check their heart health.
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 heart scans to check for early signs of heart disease in South Asian people who feel healthy. It aims to find problems early so they can be treated before causing symptoms.
This trial looks at coronary (heart) artery plaque using CT scans (CCTA) in people with type 2 diabetes who do not have symptoms. It may help doctors understand who is at risk of heart problems and how plaque changes over time.
This study uses a follow-up CT scan of your heart arteries to see how diabetes-related plaque buildup changes over time. It may help researchers understand how well current diabetes treatments are protecting your heart.
This trial looks for new genetic causes of heart attacks in young adults. If you had a heart attack at a young age and are of Chinese, Malay, or Indian descent, this study may help find answers.
