Blood test to measure heart artery plaque
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a new blood test can detect the amount of plaque buildup in your heart arteries compared to what a CT scan shows. It may help people with known or suspected coronary artery disease get a simpler, faster way to check their heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your doctor has asked you to get a CT scan of your heart arteries (CCTA) to check for blockages.
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or heart procedure in the last 6 months.
- You do not have serious kidney, liver, or active lung disease.
- You do not have active cancer, an autoimmune disease, or a condition that limits your life expectancy to less than 12 months.

This study uses CT scans and special camera images inside your arteries to watch how plaque buildup in heart arteries changes over time. It may help you understand your risk and guide future treatment.
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 special imaging to look at how blood flows through the heart's arteries. It aims to see if certain blood flow patterns can predict where harmful plaque (fatty buildups) may grow, which could help prevent future heart problems.
This study collects information from patients having a heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to better understand plaque buildup in the arteries. By joining, you help doctors learn more about preventing heart attacks and improving heart health.
This study tests a non-invasive CT scan method to detect blockages in the heart arteries in people with suspected stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to find a safe and accurate way to diagnose without invasive procedures.
This study uses repeat CT scans of the heart to see how plaque buildup changes over time in people with mild, non-blocking coronary artery disease. It may help doctors decide on better treatments to prevent future heart problems.
