New heart test package could speed up diagnosis and save money
NCT ID NCT05782582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether doing several heart scans (blood flow, ultrasound, and CT) all in one day is faster and cheaper than the usual step-by-step approach for people with possible coronary artery disease. About 500 patients from Swedish primary care centers will be followed for up to 5 years to compare costs, test results, lifestyle changes, medication use, and heart attack risk. The goal is to see if the new package improves care without increasing costs.
