NCT ID NCT07237685

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

People with type 2 diabetes are at high risk for heart disease. This study will follow 1,000 such patients who have already had a heart CT scan. Researchers will repeat the scan and track how plaque buildup in the heart's arteries changes over time. The goal is to better understand who is most at risk for future heart problems.
