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.
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 study could lead to better ways to predict heart attacks by linking plaque features with immune system markers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly change patient care, and results might not apply to all populations.
