Heart CT scan study for plaque changes in mild coronary disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have known non-obstructive coronary artery disease for at least 2 years.
- You are willing to have follow-up heart CT scans and complete the study.
- You have never had a heart attack, stent, or bypass surgery.
- You have never had a stroke or other serious heart or blood vessel event.
- You do not have severe liver or kidney problems, and your first CT scan was clear enough to use.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
