NCT ID NCT06007248

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

Summary

This study looks at a fast-progressing type of coronary artery disease that may be driven by inflammation. Researchers will compare 20 patients with this condition to 10 patients with typical heart disease, using lab tests, imaging, and physical assessments. The goal is to better understand what makes this form of heart disease different, which could lead to earlier detection and more tailored care.
