First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study follows 300 adults aged 30–60 with genetically confirmed familial hypercholesterolemia, a condition causing very high cholesterol. Researchers use CT scans to see how coronary artery plaques change over 5 years. The goal is to better understand disease progression and identify those at highest risk.

Active substance

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with contrast dye

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better predict and monitor heart disease in people with familial hypercholesterolemia, leading to earlier interventions.

What could go wrong

This is an observational imaging study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve health, and results may not apply to all patients.
