30,000 italians join study to revolutionize heart disease prediction
NCT ID NCT06832644
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether adding genetic and imaging information to standard risk assessments can better predict heart disease in 30,000 healthy Italian adults aged 40-80. Participants will have their risk calculated using traditional methods and then again with the added data. The goal is to improve prevention strategies and build a large biobank for future research on chronic diseases.
