NCT ID NCT04279496
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is enrolling 15,000 adults who are already scheduled for a coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scan. Researchers will analyze the scan images along with participants' health outcomes over time. The goal is to see if detailed information from the scans can help doctors more accurately predict who will have heart problems, such as heart attacks. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatment is being tested.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more accurate ways to predict who is at risk for heart attacks and other heart problems, helping doctors make better treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new drug or therapy, and the results may not change current practice immediately.
