New computer model could replace stress tests for heart patients

Summary
This study aims to develop a computer model that can predict how well blood flows to the heart muscle during stress, using only a standard CT scan. Currently, this requires an additional scan and a drug to simulate stress. The researchers will analyze CT scans from 400 people with suspected coronary artery disease to build and test their model. If successful, this could simplify testing and improve risk assessment for heart disease.
