Wearable devices to screen for heart disease in middle-aged adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearable devices (like smartwatches) can help find early signs of heart disease in people ages 40 to 68 who have risk factors. If you join, you may get extra screening with a heart CT scan to catch problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 68 years old.
- You have at least one heart or blood vessel risk factor (such as being an older adult, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a high 10-year heart risk).
- You are willing to have a heart CT scan (coronary CTA) if the doctor thinks you might have a narrowed artery.
- You have never had a heart attack or been told you have significant blockages in your heart arteries.
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant in the next year.
- You do not have a severe heart rhythm problem, a physical disability that prevents you from using a wrist device, or an allergy to iodine-based contrast dye.
