Summary

This study looks at whether certain proteins in the blood can tell if a person has blocked heart arteries, without needing a CT scan. About 1,000 adults with suspected heart disease will give blood samples and have a heart CT. The goal is to see if the blood test alone can accurately rule out significant blockages, which could make diagnosis faster and less invasive.
