Heart attack plaque: can scans tell the full story?
NCT ID NCT07151976
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 200 people having a heart attack to see if a special camera (OCT) inside the arteries correctly identifies the type of plaque that caused the attack. Researchers will compare the camera images with the actual plaque material removed during a standard procedure. The goal is to improve understanding, not to test a new treatment.
