Heart scan and blood test risk model for older patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses heart scans and blood tests to build a tool that predicts whether older adults with narrowed heart arteries might need a procedure to improve blood flow. If you are 70 or older with blockages in multiple heart arteries, this research may help guide your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older.
- A heart CT scan shows at least two heart arteries with significant narrowing (50% or more).
- You are scheduled for a cardiac catheterization (a procedure to look at the heart's blood vessels) as part of your regular care.
- You have not had a previous heart bypass surgery or stent placement.
- You do not have a current heart attack at the time of the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at people with a blockage in a heart artery of 50% or more. It tests a new way to check the blockage using a special CT scan. This could help decide the best treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at real-world outcomes for people with narrowed heart arteries (coronary artery disease). It may include those treated with stents (PCI) or medicines. Doctors will use a special computer tool to measure the severity of blockages and track health over time.
This trial studies a new way to check for coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries) in people with chest pain or other symptoms that might be caused by it. The goal is to see if this method is accurate and helpful for diagnosing the condition.
This trial is testing whether a special heart CT scan (coronary CT angiography) can help doctors better understand and treat calcium buildup in your heart arteries. If you have a type of heart disease that might need a stent or other procedure, this study could help decide the best approach.
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.
This study looks at how blood vessel aging relates to the type of fatty buildup in your arteries that can cause heart attacks. If you've had a recent heart attack, chest pain (angina), or minor artery disease and do not have advanced heart failure, kidney failure, active cancer, or prior bypass surgery, you may be able to join.
