Heart waves study tests pulse speed as a clue to clogged arteries
NCT ID NCT06734247
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring the speed of pulse waves in arteries, combined with machine learning, could improve prediction of significant coronary artery disease in people with chest pain or shortness of breath. Researchers planned to enroll 156 patients undergoing a heart CT scan. The study was terminated early, so its findings are limited.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could lead to a non-invasive, low-cost way to better predict who has significant coronary artery disease before more invasive tests.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early, so results are limited. The method is still experimental and may not prove accurate enough for routine use.
