NCT ID NCT03952351
First seen Feb 13, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at people who came to the hospital with chest pain but were told they did not have a heart attack. Even though they are sent home, some may still have hidden heart disease that puts them at risk for a future heart attack. The study uses a special heart scan (CT coronary angiogram) to find this hidden disease and see if it helps doctors provide better care. About 3,170 adults will take part to learn if this scan can prevent future heart problems.
