Heart risk check using CT scan in men on prostate cancer therapy
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how a special CT heart scan (CCTA) can help manage heart disease risk in men with prostate cancer who are taking hormone therapy (ADT). It may help your care team better assess heart risk, especially if you also have other heart risk factors but no current heart symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a team of doctors, nurses, and other specialists can help reduce the risk of heart problems in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (ADT). It focuses on providing extra support for heart health.
This study checks how men starting hormone therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer are doing with their heart health. It offers follow-up visits at the cancer center to track blood pressure and lab results, with the goal of catching any heart-related issues early.
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 tests a new way to use CT scans to look at both the structure of your heart arteries and how well blood flows through them. It may help doctors get a more complete picture of coronary artery disease without extra procedures.
This study tests whether a newer CT scan method can better detect coronary heart disease. You may qualify if your doctor referred you for a heart CT scan.
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.
