Screening and treatment for silent heart artery disease in type 2 diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a screening and intervention approach for “silent” coronary artery disease (heart artery narrowing without major symptoms) in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help prevent future heart problems by finding higher-risk cases early and starting the right treatment plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (new or past diagnosis).
- You are 55–69 years old if you are male, or 60–74 years old if you are female.
- You are able to sign a consent form to join the study.
- You have not had prior heart or blood-vessel disease such as heart attack, stent/angioplasty or bypass, heart failure, stroke, or blocked leg arteries.
- You should not be allergic or unable to take both types of diabetes heart medicines called SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogs (either one can be unsafe for you).
- Your heart testing should not show very severe disease (such as major narrowing of a key heart artery or very low heart pumping strength), and you should not have a condition that is expected to limit life to less than 1 year.

This study is testing whether a special heart-focused clinic can help people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart or blood vessel problems. If you have both diabetes and a heart condition like prior heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or hard-to-control high blood pressure, this program may support your health.
This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
This Phase 4 trial studies an approach to help prevent heart problems in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at higher heart risk. It may help reduce future cardiovascular events by testing medications for safety and benefit in this group.
This trial uses your genetic risk score and a CT scan of your heart to see if changing how doctors manage your diabetes can lower your risk of heart problems. It is for adults with type 2 diabetes who haven't had heart disease symptoms.
This study uses a follow-up CT scan of your heart arteries to see how diabetes-related plaque buildup changes over time. It may help researchers understand how well current diabetes treatments are protecting your heart.
This study looks at whether certain diabetes medicines, called SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists, can help protect the heart in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help you understand if these treatments are a good option for your heart health.
