New CT scan could predict heart attack Survivors' future risk
NCT ID NCT07537296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a detailed CT scan of the heart and arteries can better predict future heart attacks, heart failure, or dangerous heart rhythms in people who have already had a heart attack and a stent placed. Researchers will follow 1,000 patients for up to five years, using the CT scan results along with other data to build a risk prediction model. The goal is to improve how doctors identify high-risk patients and tailor their follow-up care.
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 could lead to a new, non-invasive way to identify heart attack survivors at highest risk for future events, enabling more personalized follow-up care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The CT scan may not prove more useful than current methods, and results may not change patient outcomes.
