Heart test showdown: ultrasound combo may beat CT scans

NCT ID NCT06185530

First seen Nov 21, 2025

Summary

This study compares two non-invasive tests for coronary heart disease: a CT scan of the heart arteries versus a stress ultrasound that also checks the neck arteries. The goal is to see which test better detects blockages and prevents heart attacks or other problems. 2,000 adults with suspected heart disease will be randomly assigned to one test and followed for 5 years.
