CT scan to study plaque and blood flow in heart disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a reason your doctor wants a coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scan
- You are able and willing to sign the study’s informed consent form
- Your heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 35% or higher
- You have not had a major heart attack within the last 72 hours
- Your heart CT scan should be clear enough for the study to analyze plaque and other measures

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.
This study looks at whether certain lab “biomarkers” and a heart CT scan can help understand heart blood flow in people getting routine coronary CT angiography (CCTA). It may be useful for improving how doctors assess heart health from scan and blood results.
This study looks at people who had a heart attack and had a special CT scan (CT angiography) before or during the years leading up to it. Researchers will use the scan and computer analysis (AI) to better understand heart plaque and how it may relate to heart attacks.
This trial studies whether a CT heart scan (CCTA) can better guide treatment decisions for people with stable chest pain caused by blocked heart arteries. It may help your care team choose the next best step based on scan results.
This study looks at how different CT scan image settings affect how well doctors can spot and measure coronary artery disease. It may help improve the accuracy of CT scans for people who are getting a heart CT anyway.
This trial uses a special computer program to look at your heart CT scan and measure inflammation and risk of heart problems. It may help doctors better understand your risk and guide your treatment.
