Safer X-ray study for heart catheter procedure
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to use less radiation during a heart catheter procedure (coronary angiography). The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for a heart catheter procedure (coronary angiography).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are not pregnant and are able to speak English.
- You have not had coronary bypass surgery in the past.
- Your kidney function is normal (eGFR of 60 or higher).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 45.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a new CT scanner (photon-counting CT) combined with a tiny camera inside the heart arteries to better see blockages. It's for people with chest pain or silent ischemia, but not for those having a big heart attack (STEMI) or with unstable conditions.
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
This trial studies newer ways to take heart and blood vessel CT scans while using radiation more carefully. It may help improve image quality for people needing coronary CT angiography.
This study tests a newer type of CT scan (photon counting) to see if it can better predict which patients with heart disease or chest pain symptoms are at risk for a heart attack. The scan uses imaging technology that may provide clearer images and help doctors make better treatment decisions.
This study uses a CT heart scan (with a calcium score) to better understand risk in people with suspected coronary artery disease. You may be asked to have scan-based measurements and then be followed for at least a year.
