Advanced CT scans to detect heart blood flow problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two advanced CT imaging methods to check if moderate narrowing in your heart arteries is causing blood flow problems. Both methods are non-invasive (no surgery) and use CT scans to help your doctor decide if you need further treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You've been referred for a heart CT scan (CCTA) to check for blocked arteries
- Your initial CT scan shows moderate narrowing (50–69%) in at least one heart artery
- You have stable heart function and no recent heart attacks
- Your kidneys are working reasonably well (GFR at least 30)
- You don't have an irregular heartbeat or other serious heart conditions
- You're not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to iodine contrast dye

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 uses repeat CT scans of the heart to see how plaque buildup changes over time in people with mild, non-blocking coronary artery disease. It may help doctors decide on better treatments to prevent future heart problems.
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.
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 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 trial studies a heart CT scan technique to help doctors better understand coronary artery blockages. It may help guide treatment choices for people with angina (chest pain) who are at intermediate to high risk.
