Comparing two CT methods to find heart blood flow problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two advanced CT scan methods to find blocked heart arteries without invasive procedures. It helps doctors decide if you need more treatment based on how well blood flows to your heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being sent for a CT scan of your heart to check for possible blockages.
- The CT scan shows a moderate narrowing (50-69%) in one of your heart arteries.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had a heart attack or a procedure to open blocked arteries before (like a stent or bypass).
- Your kidneys must be working well (no severe kidney disease).
- You have no other serious heart conditions or irregular heartbeats that could affect the scan.

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 compares a CT-based method to measure blood flow in the heart with the standard invasive test, to see if it can help guide treatment for people with chest pain. It aims to reduce the need for invasive procedures.
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 compares two non-invasive imaging tests to help doctors decide whether patients with narrowed heart arteries need stents or surgery. One test uses a CT scan, the other uses a standard angiogram, both measuring blood flow to guide treatment.
This study tests whether a CT scan combined with blood-flow measurements can better predict which heart artery blockages are serious. It may help avoid unnecessary invasive tests.
