New software could spot dangerous heart blockages without surgery

NCT ID NCT06183294

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a new software program that analyzes heart angiogram images to measure blood flow blockages without needing to insert a pressure wire into the artery. Researchers reviewed the records of 100 patients who had both an angiogram and an invasive pressure measurement. The goal was to see if the software's results matched the standard invasive test. If accurate, this could make diagnosing coronary artery disease faster and less risky.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AutocathFFR software

What this could lead to

If successful, this software could provide a non-invasive way to diagnose significant coronary blockages, reducing the need for invasive procedures.

What could go wrong

This is a small, retrospective study that only compares software results to existing data. It may not work as well in real-time use or in all patients.
