Heart health study using CT scans and blood samples
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at blood samples and CT scans from people with stable coronary artery disease to find new ways to predict and prevent future heart problems. If you've had or are about to have a cardiac CT and have blood stored, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have known or suspected stable coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries that don't cause sudden emergencies).
- You must have stored blood samples (whole blood and plasma/serum) in a biobank from a previous or upcoming cardiac CT scan.
- You should not have severe heart failure (NYHA Class III-IV) or a very weak heart pump (LVEF less than 40%).
- You must not have other serious health conditions that limit your expected survival to less than one year.
- Your cardiac CT images must be clear and of good quality.

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 trial tests a non-invasive method to detect narrowing in the heart's arteries. It may help people with suspected stable coronary artery disease avoid more invasive tests.
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 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 is building a tool to better predict who might develop coronary artery disease. It looks at your heart CT scan and blood test results to create a risk score. You can help by sharing your information and being followed over time.
This study screens people with chest symptoms to see who might have coronary artery disease (CAD) when it’s not clear from symptoms alone. It may help doctors choose the right imaging tests for more accurate answers and safer care.
