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 study checks South Asian adults (aged 30–60 for men, over 50–60 for women) for hidden heart disease using a CT scan, even if they feel fine. It is for people with at least one heart risk factor like high blood pressure or diabetes.
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 trial studies whether doing a heart CT scan to look at heart artery narrowing, along with follow-up care, can help prevent coronary heart disease in people who have risk factors but no known heart artery disease yet. You may qualify if you live in Nanjing, are age 40–69, and have certain risk factors.
This study looks at blood samples and CT scans from people with stable coronary artery disease to find new ways to predict and prevent future heart problems. If you've had or are about to have a cardiac CT and have blood stored, you might be able to join.
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 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.
