First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study will test if using artificial intelligence to find calcium buildup in heart arteries from chest CT scans people already had can improve cholesterol treatment. Researchers will notify patients and their doctors about the finding, aiming to start or strengthen cholesterol-lowering medications. The study includes 120,000 adults with known heart disease or significant calcium buildup whose cholesterol is not well controlled. It is not a cure but a way to better manage heart disease and reduce future risk.
