Heart rate control before heart CT scan
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two medicines to lower heart rate before a cardiac CT scan in adults who need the scan. It is for people whose heart rate is naturally a bit fast (over 65 beats per minute) but not too fast (under 100 bpm).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a heart CT scan
- Your heart rate is between 65 and 100 beats per minute
- You are between 30 and 80 years old
- You do not have a pacemaker or known heart disease
- You are not taking certain heart medications (like beta-blockers or ivabradine)

This study tests a non-invasive CT scan method to detect blockages in the heart arteries in people with suspected stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to find a safe and accurate way to diagnose without invasive procedures.
This trial is testing whether a coronary CT angiography scan, performed before catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, helps doctors find hidden blockages in heart arteries. It may help people without known heart disease avoid unnecessary procedures.
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 looks at how to improve the preparation and imaging techniques for heart CT scans. It may help make the scan more comfortable and accurate for people who already have a heart CT scheduled.
This study tests a pill called ivabradine that lowers heart rate, to see how it affects healthy adults when they exercise. Participation requires two supervised exercise sessions.
This trial tests whether giving a drug called ivabradine before sinus surgery helps keep your heart rate steady during the procedure. It may reduce risks during surgery for people with a normal resting heart rate.
