AI could spot hidden heart attack risks before It's too late
NCT ID NCT06410690
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop artificial intelligence tools that can analyze heart CT scans to identify dangerous plaque buildup that may lead to heart attacks. Researchers will study 4,000 people with known or suspected coronary artery disease to create and test a computer model that predicts who is at highest risk. The goal is to improve early detection and prevention of serious heart events.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * patients (age ≥ 18 years) with known or suspected CAD referred for clinically indicated diagnostic evaluation; * CCTA performed with state-of-the-art scanner technology, i.e., scanners with more than 64 slices. Exclusion Criteria: * performance of any non-invasive diagnostic test within 90 days before enrolment; * low-to-intermediate pre-test likelihood of CAD according to the updated Diamond-Forrester risk model score; * acute coronary syndrome; * evidence of clinical instability; * contraindication to contrast agent administration and/or impaired renal function; * inability to sustain a breath hold; * pregnancy; * cardiac arrhythmias;- presence of a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator; * contraindications to the administration of sublingual nitrates, β-blockers or adenosine; * structural cardiomyopathy
