Heart scan check for heart disease risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special computer program to look at heart scans for signs of inflammation and risk of heart disease. It may help doctors better understand your heart health from a scan you are already getting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your doctor has ordered a heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to check for heart disease.
- You have not had heart bypass surgery in the past.
- Your heart scan is not being done to check for structural heart problems (like heart valve issues).
- Your heart scan is of good quality and can be fully analyzed.
- You are not pregnant and have no medical reasons that prevent you from having a heart CT scan.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.

This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
This study uses a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) to look at plaque and how blood flows in people with coronary artery disease. It may help match your scan results with heart measurements and guide future care decisions.
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.
This study looks at people who are having a CT scan of their heart because it’s medically needed. Researchers will use the scan results to better predict future cardiovascular outcomes and improve how care decisions are made.
This study uses a new type of CT scanner (photon counting CT) to see if it can better predict heart attacks in people with heart disease or symptoms like chest pain. The scan may help doctors find problems earlier and guide treatment.
This study looks at whether certain lab “biomarkers” and a heart CT scan can help understand heart blood flow in people getting routine coronary CT angiography (CCTA). It may be useful for improving how doctors assess heart health from scan and blood results.
