Testing whether better heart imaging planning reduces scans
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies the best way to decide when people need heart imaging tests, with the goal of doing fewer unnecessary scans. It may help patients by avoiding extra radiation and tests while still keeping care safe and appropriate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 30 years old or older
- Your symptoms or test results suggest stable, likely coronary artery disease (often called “CCS” or “angina”), and you’re clinically stable
- You have no known history of coronary artery disease, heart attack, or previously documented coronary artery disease
- You did not have a heart imaging test that uses contrast (CIT) in the last year
- You can have an imaging test safely: no allergy to iodinated contrast and kidney function is not too low

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a heart scan (PET/CT) to better estimate blood flow in people with long-term coronary artery disease. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment strategy and decide who may need more invasive testing or procedures.
This trial sees if a carotid ultrasound is as good as a CT calcium score to detect heart disease in people with chest pain. It may help avoid more expensive or less available scans.
This study tests whether using detailed CT scans to plan heart procedures improves outcomes when doctors place stents to open blocked arteries. You'll have a CT scan and then a heart catheterization procedure as planned by your doctor.
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (stress echo with ultrasound of the neck, and a CT scan) to see which one better helps guide treatment for people with chest pain that might be from heart disease. If you have chest pain that is typical for heart disease, you may be able to join.
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 screens people with chest symptoms to see who might have coronary artery disease (CAD) when it’s not clear from symptoms alone. It may help doctors choose the right imaging tests for more accurate answers and safer care.
