Heart risk in those with family history of heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have a family history of heart disease but no known heart problems or symptoms. It aims to understand if hidden plaque buildup in the arteries may be present.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a parent, sibling, or child who had a heart attack or needed heart treatment
- You do not have any known heart or blood vessel disease
- You do not have any symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath

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 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 heart CT scan to look for plaque buildup in the arteries of people with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic high-cholesterol condition). It aims to understand why some people with FH develop heart disease while others don't.
This study tests a new way to use CT scans to look at both the structure of your heart arteries and how well blood flows through them. It may help doctors get a more complete picture of coronary artery disease without extra procedures.
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 study looks at how likely people are to have coronary artery disease (heart artery blockage) based on results from CT scans. It may help doctors better estimate risk and decide what follow-up care you may need.
