Lipoprotein a and heart scan risk

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.

This study looks at whether a blood test for lipoprotein(a) can help predict heart disease risk when combined with a CT scan of the heart. If you are at intermediate risk for heart disease and are having a CT scan, this study may help you understand your risk better.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

AI-assisted CT scan to assess heart artery disease risk

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your heart CT scan and better predict your risk of coronary artery disease (narrowing of the arteries that supply your heart). The goal is to help doctors identify who might need earlier treatment or more careful monitoring.

Predicting heart risk with a CT scan and metabolic markers

This study uses your heart CT scan results along with your blood sugar, cholesterol, and other metabolic numbers to build a tool that predicts your risk of future heart problems. The goal is to help doctors better personalize prevention and treatment for people with coronary artery disease.

CT scan study for heart artery disease risk

This study uses a CT heart scan (with a calcium score) to better understand risk in people with suspected coronary artery disease. You may be asked to have scan-based measurements and then be followed for at least a year.

Role of lipoprotein(a) in planned heart artery procedures

This study looks at whether a type of fat in your blood, called lipoprotein(a), can help predict how well you do after a planned procedure to open a blocked heart artery. If you join, we will take a blood sample before the procedure and follow your recovery to see how lipoprotein(a) levels relate to outcomes.

AI heart scan study for people with early calcium buildup

This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze heart CT scans to help doctors decide if you need medications to lower your risk of a heart attack. It is for people who have some calcium in their heart arteries but no symptoms yet.
