Scientists peer inside heart attack plaques to solve diagnostic puzzle

NCT ID NCT07151976

Summary

This study aims to improve how doctors identify the specific type of plaque that causes a heart attack. Researchers will compare high-resolution artery images taken during a standard procedure with a detailed analysis of tiny tissue samples removed from the blockage. The goal is to see if the imaging accurately matches what the tissue shows, which could help guide future treatments for 200 patients with certain types of heart attacks.
