Summary

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence program can analyze chest CT scans to find calcium buildup in heart arteries—a sign of hidden heart disease. Doctors will receive this information and may start or increase cholesterol-lowering medications to prevent future heart problems. The trial involves 1,500 adults aged 40 to 75 who have had a chest CT in the last three years but have no prior heart disease or cancer.
