Comparing two imaging tests for chronic coronary syndrome
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial sees if a carotid ultrasound is as good as a CT calcium score to detect heart disease in people with chest pain. It may help avoid more expensive or less available scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- You have chest pain or other symptoms that make your doctor think you might have heart disease
- Your heart disease risk score is between 5% and 15%
- You are able to understand and agree to the study

This trial compares two heart imaging tests (stress echo with ultrasound of the neck, and a CT scan) to see which one better helps guide treatment for people with chest pain that might be from heart disease. If you have chest pain that is typical for heart disease, you may be able to join.
This trial studies the best way to decide when people need heart imaging tests, with the goal of doing fewer unnecessary scans. It may help patients by avoiding extra radiation and tests while still keeping care safe and appropriate.
This study compares two heart-imaging tests—cardiac MRI (CMR) and CT—to see which better helps evaluate coronary artery disease in people with chest pain. You may be asked to have one of these scans as part of your heart work-up.
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 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 trial studies a new way to check for coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries) in people with chest pain or other symptoms that might be caused by it. The goal is to see if this method is accurate and helpful for diagnosing the condition.
