Registry study of heart plaque in South Asian adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You identify as South Asian, with both biological parents from South Asia (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, or Bangladesh)
- You can give informed consent and understand the study
- Your kidney function is good enough (estimated kidney filtration rate must be above 45)
- You can safely complete a CCTA heart scan (a type of CT scan with contrast dye if needed)

This study collects information from patients having a heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to better understand plaque buildup in the arteries. By joining, you help doctors learn more about preventing heart attacks and improving heart health.
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 study uses a special CT scan to look at the inside of your heart arteries and find any high-risk fatty deposits (plaque) that might cause problems later. It aims to see if this scan can predict future heart events, so you and your doctor can make better treatment choices.
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 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 trial uses advanced imaging (OCT) and single-cell analysis to study different types of plaque in people with coronary artery disease. It aims to understand how these plaque types differ at a cellular level, which could lead to better treatments.
