AI reads heart scans to predict heart attacks
NCT ID NCT06025305
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is developing an artificial intelligence system to analyze CT scans of the heart. The goal is to automatically detect and measure dangerous plaque that can cause heart attacks. Researchers will compare the AI's findings with detailed imaging tests and track patient outcomes in 2,000 participants across China.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI diagnostic software
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI could help doctors spot dangerous plaque earlier and better predict heart attacks, leading to more personalized treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The AI may not perform as well in real-world settings, and results may not apply outside China.
