New study aims to decode heart attack risks by analyzing plaque and immune cells

NCT ID NCT06489119

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at different types of plaque in the arteries of people with coronary artery disease. Researchers will use special imaging to see the plaque and analyze blood cells at a detailed level. The goal is to understand how plaque features relate to immune responses and future heart problems. 350 participants will be followed over time to track major heart events.
