CT heart scan trial to prevent first heart problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You take part in the Copenhagen General Population Study and are 40 years or older
- Your kidney function (eGFR) is 30 or higher
- You have at least one heart risk factor (like high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, or high cholesterol)
- You do not have known significant heart artery disease (no prior heart attack, stroke, or heart failure)
- You can have a CT scan with contrast and don’t have certain metal or allergy issues

This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
This study uses heart scans to check for early signs of heart disease in South Asian people who feel healthy. It aims to find problems early so they can be treated before causing symptoms.
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 study uses a new type of CT scanner (photon counting CT) to see if it can better predict heart attacks in people with heart disease or symptoms like chest pain. The scan may help doctors find problems earlier and guide treatment.
This study is testing how a special heart scan (coronary CT angiography) can help manage cholesterol levels and other heart risk factors in people who feel well and have no known heart disease. It may help doctors better decide what lifestyle or medicines you may need to lower risk.
This study uses your heart CT scan results along with your blood sugar, cholesterol, and other metabolic numbers to build a tool that predicts your risk of future heart problems. The goal is to help doctors better personalize prevention and treatment for people with coronary artery disease.
