AI reads heart scans to spot hidden inflammation
NCT ID NCT07220304
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will see if an artificial intelligence program called CaRi-Heart can help doctors make better decisions about treating heart disease. About 15,000 adults getting a standard heart CT scan will have their images re-analyzed by the AI at no extra cost. The goal is to find out if the AI's extra information leads to earlier or more effective treatments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Clinically indicated CCTA undertaken for evaluation of coronary artery disease. 2. Ability to provide written informed consent 3. Patient between 18 and 80 years old Exclusion Criteria: \- 1. History of surgical revascularization (coronary artery bypass graft, CABG) 2. CCTA undertaken for structural heart disease evaluation (e.g. transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) 3. The CCTA is of poor quality or partly unanalysable due to artifacts, such as motion-artifacts, breathing-artifacts, stack-artifacts or blooming-artifacts. 4\. Inability to provide required health information 5. Pregnancy or any known contraindication for CCTA
