Summary

This study will take standard heart CT scans from 1000 adults with structural heart disease and use a super-computer to create ultra-high-resolution images. The goal is to see if these enhanced images show more detail than the originals. No new treatments are being tested; it's about improving how we see the heart.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to clearer heart images without extra radiation, helping doctors spot problems more easily.
What could go wrong: This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The new image method may not show meaningful improvements in practice.
