NCT ID NCT06413641
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether showing people their own coronary CT scans can motivate them to lower their LDL cholesterol and reduce side effects from statins. 273 adults with non-obstructive coronary artery disease will be followed for 12 months. The goal is to see if visual feedback helps improve heart health and slow disease progression.

Active substance
Visualization of coronary CT angiography images
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help people with early heart disease stick to cholesterol-lowering treatments and slow plaque buildup.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (273 people) testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may not apply to everyone, and the effect on actual heart attacks or survival is not being measured.
