Using CT scans and AI to evaluate heart artery risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have stable chest pain or a recent mild heart attack (NSTE-ACS).
- You have had a special CT scan (CCTA) that shows some narrowing (40-69%) or blockages (70% or more) in your main heart arteries.
- You have had a heart catheterization and a camera look inside your arteries (IVUS, OCT, or NIRS) within 1 month of that CT scan.
- You have not had a stent placed in the last 6 months, and you have never had a heart attack or heart failure.

This study uses advanced CT scans and a special camera (OCT) to look at borderline blockages in heart arteries more closely. It aims to see if artificial intelligence can help decide which blockages need a stent and which can be treated with medicine alone.
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 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.
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.
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 looks at people who are having a CT scan of their heart because it’s medically needed. Researchers will use the scan results to better predict future cardiovascular outcomes and improve how care decisions are made.
