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.

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 looks at how plaque buildup and blood platelets interact in partially blocked heart arteries. It might help find better ways to treat people with chronic coronary syndrome.
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 looks at people with coronary artery disease (narrowed or blocked heart arteries) to see how different imaging and function tests can help predict outcomes. If you've had a heart procedure or test showing blockages, you might be eligible.
