Study of blood vessel shape and plaque buildup
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the shape of your blood vessels affects the buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis) and blood flow. It may help doctors better understand heart disease risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- You have symptoms of coronary artery disease (like chest pain or shortness of breath) or multiple risk factors (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or smoking).
- You can give your informed consent.
- You do not have severe kidney problems.
- You have never had an allergic reaction to contrast dye.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial uses advanced imaging (OCT) and single-cell analysis to study different types of plaque in people with coronary artery disease. It aims to understand how these plaque types differ at a cellular level, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how likely people are to have coronary artery disease (heart artery blockage) based on results from CT scans. It may help doctors better estimate risk and decide what follow-up care you may need.
This study looks at blood proteins and other molecules in people with different types of coronary artery disease. The goal is to see how these markers differ between those with blocked arteries, those with narrowed arteries, and those with no artery disease. This may help doctors better understand the disease and improve treatment.
This study collects information from patients having a heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to better understand plaque buildup in the arteries. By joining, you help doctors learn more about preventing heart attacks and improving heart health.
