Heart health screening for people with artery disease risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special CT scan of your chest to check for calcium in your heart arteries, which can show early signs of heart disease. If you are at risk, your doctor will be notified to help you manage your cholesterol and reduce your chances of a heart attack or stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a chest CT scan in the last 2 years at our health system.
- You are an active patient here, with at least one visit in the last 2 years and either health plan enrollment, a recent cholesterol test, or a heart medication prescription.
- You have either a history of heart or blood vessel disease and some calcium in your arteries, or no such history but a high amount of calcium in your arteries.
- Your last cholesterol test (LDL) was 70 or higher, or you haven't had a cholesterol test in the last 2 years.
- You do not have dementia, a heart transplant, or a life-limiting illness like advanced cancer.

This study uses artificial intelligence to look at routine chest CT scans and check for calcium buildup in the heart arteries, which can signal heart disease risk. It aims to see if this can catch heart problems early without needing extra scans.
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze heart CT scans to help doctors decide if you need medications to lower your risk of a heart attack. It is for people who have some calcium in their heart arteries but no symptoms yet.
This research study uses an artificial intelligence program to screen old chest CT scans for calcium buildup in the heart arteries. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had a chest CT in the last 3 years, this may help identify if you are at risk for heart disease so you can take steps to prevent it.
This study uses a CT scan of your heart (CCTA) and advanced computer analysis to see how well it can predict heart risks compared to detailed inside-look tests (IVUS, OCT, NIRS). If you have chest pain and have had certain heart scans, this trial may help doctors understand your condition better.
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your heart CT scan and better predict your risk of coronary artery disease (narrowing of the arteries that supply your heart). The goal is to help doctors identify who might need earlier treatment or more careful monitoring.
This study uses a CT heart scan (with a calcium score) to better understand risk in people with suspected coronary artery disease. You may be asked to have scan-based measurements and then be followed for at least a year.
