NCT ID NCT07388342

First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests a new CT scan method to check for blocked heart arteries in people who survive a cardiac arrest. The scan uses existing images and special software, so no extra drugs or monitoring are needed. Researchers will compare the CT results with standard angiography to see if the CT can accurately identify who needs urgent treatment. If successful, this could help doctors make faster, safer decisions for these critically ill patients.
