CT vs. angio blood flow test for coronary artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-invasive ways to measure blood flow in narrowed heart arteries. If you have stable or unstable chest pain or had a heart attack more than 72 hours ago and a CT shows a moderate blockage (70-90% narrowed), you might be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have stable chest pain, unstable chest pain, or had a heart attack at least 3 days ago.
- You have not had a heart stent or bypass surgery before.
- You do not have moderate or severe kidney disease (your kidney function is good enough).
- You do not have atrial fibrillation or other serious heart rhythm problems.
- A CT scan shows a 70-90% blockage in a major heart artery (at least 2.5 mm wide).

This trial compares two ways of deciding what to do next after a CT heart scan in people with stable chest pain. It looks at how well each approach helps doctors choose the safest next step (such as further testing or treatment).
This study looks at how well a special CT scan (FFR CT) matches the results of a more invasive wire test (invasive FFR) for measuring blood flow in heart arteries. It may help doctors use CT scans more confidently instead of always needing the invasive procedure.
This trial tests if using a special heart CT scan (CCTA with FFRCT) before a planned angioplasty can help doctors better plan where to place stents. You may be eligible if you have a narrowing in one or two heart arteries that haven't been treated before.
This study is following people with chronic coronary syndrome to see how a special CT-based blood flow test (CT-FFR) helps predict their heart health. If you have already had this test, you may be eligible to join and help doctors learn more about managing your condition.
This study compares new imaging methods to see how well they work and whether they can lower costs for people with suspected coronary artery disease. It may help by using different scan approaches while keeping patient safety in mind.
This trial compares a treatment plan guided by a special CT scan measurement of blood flow (called CT-derived FFR) versus standard medical therapy. It may help doctors choose the safest, most effective treatment based on how restricted blood flow looks on CT.
