Using CT heart scans and AI to study plaque function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had a heart attack and had a special CT scan (CT angiography) before or during the years leading up to it. Researchers will use the scan and computer analysis (AI) to better understand heart plaque and how it may relate to heart attacks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 80 years old
- Have had a coronary CT angiography (CCTA) between 3 months and 5 years before your recent heart attack
- Your CCTA must have shown plaque narrowing of at least 10% in a coronary artery
- Do not have familial hypercholesterolemia (a specific inherited very-high cholesterol condition)
- No prior heart procedures to open or bypass arteries (no PCI or CABG)
- No previous heart attack before the recent one, and no severe kidney or liver problems

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 artificial intelligence to look at CT scans of the heart to find which fatty deposits (plaque) in the arteries might be dangerous. It may help doctors better predict heart attacks.
This study uses a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to look at plaque and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease. It may help match your scan results with heart measurements and guide future care decisions.
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to analyze heart CT scans (CCTA) and identify dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to a heart attack. It aims to see if AI can better predict high-risk plaques in people with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
This study collects information from adults undergoing a clinically needed heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to build a database about plaque in the heart arteries. It may help researchers better understand heart disease patterns and improve future care.
This trial builds and tests an AI system using information from a heart CT scan to help evaluate coronary artery disease (clogged heart arteries). If you need a CT coronary angiography for medical reasons, this may help improve how such scans are analyzed and used in care.
