Diabetes and heart artery plaque progression study
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a follow-up CT scan of your heart arteries to see how diabetes-related plaque buildup changes over time. It may help researchers understand how well current diabetes treatments are protecting your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have type 2 diabetes and are taking medication to manage it.
- You have already had a special CT scan of your heart arteries (CCTA) to look for blockages.
- That CT scan had good image quality, showing at least two of the three main heart arteries clearly.
- Your previous heart CT scan was done between 2 and 5 years ago.
- You do not have severe kidney problems or an allergy to CT contrast dye.

This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
This study uses repeat CT scans of the heart to see how plaque buildup changes over time in people with mild, non-blocking coronary artery disease. It may help doctors decide on better treatments to prevent future heart problems.
This trial looks at coronary (heart) artery plaque using CT scans (CCTA) in people with type 2 diabetes who do not have symptoms. It may help doctors understand who is at risk of heart problems and how plaque changes over time.
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 tests whether a diabetes medication called SGLT2 inhibitors can slow the buildup of plaque in heart arteries. Researchers will use special CT scans to track changes in your coronary arteries over time.
This study looks at people who had a heart attack and had a special CT scan (CT angiography) before or during the years leading up to it. Researchers will use the scan and computer analysis (AI) to better understand heart plaque and how it may relate to heart attacks.
