NCT ID NCT06374498

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study is testing a new imaging tool that combines two types of light to look inside heart arteries. Researchers want to see if this tool can predict which plaques will grow over time. About 40 adults with heart disease will be imaged at the start and again after one year using a CT scan. The goal is to learn if this new method can help identify high-risk plaques early.
