CT blood-flow test guided treatment versus usual care
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares a treatment plan guided by a special CT scan measurement of blood flow (called CT-derived FFR) versus standard medical therapy. It may help doctors choose the safest, most effective treatment based on how restricted blood flow looks on CT.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- Have long-term (“chronic”) heart-related symptoms and a CT scan showing at least one narrowed artery with CT-derived FFR 0.80 or less
- Be able and willing to have both a CT scan and a coronary angiography (a heart/artery imaging test with contrast dye)
- Not have had previous heart stent placement (PCI) or bypass surgery (CABG)
- Agree to sign informed consent to join the study

This study compares a CT-based method to measure blood flow in the heart with the standard invasive test, to see if it can help guide treatment for people with chest pain. It aims to reduce the need for invasive procedures.
This study is following people with chronic coronary syndrome to see how a special CT-based blood flow test (CT-FFR) helps predict their heart health. If you have already had this test, you may be eligible to join and help doctors learn more about managing your condition.
This trial compares two non-invasive imaging tests to help doctors decide whether patients with narrowed heart arteries need stents or surgery. One test uses a CT scan, the other uses a standard angiogram, both measuring blood flow to guide treatment.
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 compares new imaging methods to see how well they work and whether they can lower costs for people with suspected coronary artery disease. It may help by using different scan approaches while keeping patient safety in mind.
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.
