Heart test showdown: could a simple ultrasound replace CT scans for millions?
NCT ID NCT06185530
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study compares two non-invasive heart tests—stress echocardiography (ultrasound) combined with a neck artery scan versus a standard CT scan—to see which better detects blocked arteries and prevents heart attacks or other serious events. About 2,000 people with suspected coronary artery disease will be randomly assigned to one test or the other and followed for 5 years. The goal is to find a single, effective test that can identify both minor and severe disease without extra radiation or procedures.
