First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 1000 adults (ages 40-80) with high cholesterol but no heart symptoms. Researchers want to see if using special scans of the neck and heart arteries can find hidden plaque better than the standard risk calculator. The goal is to improve early detection and prevention of heart attacks.
