CT calcium scan to prevent heart problems in diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using a heart CT “calcium score” to guide prevention can lower the chance of major heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes who have other heart risk factors. It may help by targeting prevention more personally, based on your calcium score.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 40 years old and have type 2 diabetes
- You have at least one extra heart risk factor, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking history, family history of early heart disease, or protein in urine
- Your cholesterol or LDL is above certain levels, or you have other qualifying risk factors from the list
- You have not had prior heart or blood vessel disease (like coronary heart disease, stroke, or heart failure)
- You are not pregnant

This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
This trial uses your genetic risk score and a CT scan of your heart to see if changing how doctors manage your diabetes can lower your risk of heart problems. It is for adults with type 2 diabetes who haven't had heart disease symptoms.
This study uses a special CT scan to look at your heart more closely. It may help people with known or suspected heart problems or type 2 diabetes.
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 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 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.
