Can a simple blood test predict hidden heart disease?

NCT ID NCT07184034

Summary

This study aims to understand if high levels of a specific blood fat called Lipoprotein(a) are linked to more calcium buildup in the heart's arteries, as seen on a special CT scan. Researchers will enroll 150 adults at intermediate risk for heart disease who are already scheduled for this scan. By comparing blood test results with scan findings, the study hopes to improve how doctors predict who is most at risk for future heart problems.
