Heart Disease Risk Follow-up Study for Former Athletes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows up with people who participated in a heart-health study between 2012 and 2014. Researchers will use heart imaging and exercise tests to check your cardiovascular health and learn more about heart disease risk in athletes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You participated in the original MARC study between 2012 and 2014
- You can provide written permission to participate
- You're willing to learn about any unexpected findings on heart imaging
- You're not currently in another heart-health study
- You don't have severe kidney problems (kidney function must be adequate)
- You don't have serious heart conditions that would make exercise testing unsafe

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 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 collects information from patients having a heart CT scan (coronary CTA) to better understand plaque buildup in the arteries. By joining, you help doctors learn more about preventing heart attacks and improving heart health.
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 is a research registry that follows people who are already getting a CT scan of their heart arteries for medical reasons. It aims to better understand how these scans relate to future heart outcomes, while collecting follow-up health information.
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.
