First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looks at how accurately a CT scan can measure the amount of plaque (fatty buildup) in the heart arteries compared to a more invasive ultrasound method. It involves 250 adults with stable coronary artery disease who already need a heart catheterization. The goal is to see if the CT scan can be a reliable, less invasive tool for guiding treatment.
