Genetic and CT screening for heart risk in diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses your genetic risk score and a CT scan of your heart to see if changing how doctors manage your diabetes can lower your risk of heart problems. It is for adults with type 2 diabetes who haven't had heart disease symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
- You have not had any heart disease symptoms or events (like a heart attack).
- You are willing to have a CT scan of your heart and give a sample for genetic testing.
- You agree to be followed for regular check-ups over time.

This study is testing whether a special blood test (genomic predictor) can help doctors better manage heart and kidney risks in people with type 2 diabetes. You may benefit from learning your personal risk score and getting more tailored care.
This trial tests a screening and intervention approach for “silent” coronary artery disease (heart artery narrowing without major symptoms) in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help prevent future heart problems by finding higher-risk cases early and starting the right treatment plan.
This trial uses a special CT scan of the heart’s arteries to better predict who is at risk of future heart problems. It may help your care team decide how best to lower risk early.
This study checks South Asian adults (aged 30–60 for men, over 50–60 for women) for hidden heart disease using a CT scan, even if they feel fine. It is for people with at least one heart risk factor like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This trial looks at how learning about your genetic risk for heart disease might help prevent it. You will get a personalized report and guidance.
This trial uses a polygenic risk score to see if knowing your genetic risk for coronary artery disease can help prevent a first heart attack. If you have an intermediate 10-year risk and no prior heart events, you may be eligible.
