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 special CT scan of your chest to check for calcium in your heart arteries, which can show early signs of heart disease. If you are at risk, your doctor will be notified to help you manage your cholesterol and reduce your chances of a heart attack or stroke.
This study uses a special computer program to look at heart scans for signs of inflammation and risk of heart disease. It may help doctors better understand your heart health from a scan you are already getting.
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.
