AI and advanced imaging to guide treatment of borderline heart blockages
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have stable chest pain (chronic coronary syndrome) or unstable chest pain (non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome).
- A CT scan or angiogram showed a borderline blockage (40-69% narrowing) or a more severe blockage (70% or more) in one of your main heart arteries.
- You will have or have had a heart catheterization with an advanced camera (OCT) to see inside the artery.
- You have not had a stent placed in the last 6 months, and you have never had a heart attack, heart failure, or bypass surgery.
- Your liver and kidney function are normal (no severe liver or kidney disease), and you do not have inherited high cholesterol, cancer, or a life expectancy less than 1 year.

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 uses artificial intelligence (AI) to look at chest CT scans for signs of coronary artery disease. It may help find blockages without needing a separate heart-specific CT scan.
This trial tests an artificial-intelligence tool that uses a heart ultrasound to help guide stent treatment. It may help doctors choose the best way to treat blockages and improve stent results for people with symptoms from reduced blood flow to the heart.
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 is testing a new computer algorithm that uses CT scans to find dangerous plaque in heart arteries. It may help doctors better identify people at risk for heart attacks without needing extra invasive tests.
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).
