Photon counting ct for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a new type of CT scan called photon counting computed tomography to look at heart function and scarring in people with heart failure. It is for patients who need a CT but cannot have an MRI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure (acute or long-term).
- Your doctor says you need a CT scan that checks your heart's blood vessels and looks for scarring.
- You cannot have an MRI (for any reason).
- You are willing to sign a consent form to join the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
This study looks for people who may be developing heart failure early, using heart imaging and related checks. If you fit the risk pattern, the results may help find heart failure sooner in similar people.
This study examines how body composition (muscle and fat) and heart structure relate to different types of heart failure and predicts outcomes. Researchers will use CT scans to better understand why some heart failure patients do better or worse than others.
This trial tests a new type of CT scanner that may produce clearer images of the heart. It is for people already scheduled for a standard cardiac CT.
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 tests a new type of CT scan that takes very detailed pictures of the heart and stents. It may help doctors see whether stents remain open and guide future care.
