NCT ID NCT07262359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at a specific type of hard plaque in heart arteries called a calcified nodule, which can cause sudden heart attacks and is hard to treat. Researchers will use special cameras inside the arteries to see these plaques in detail and track how patients do over time.
