What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study looks at whether a special CT scan (FFR CT) can accurately measure blood flow in the heart's arteries compared to the standard invasive test. Researchers will review data from 500 patients with suspected coronary artery disease. If FFR CT proves accurate, it could reduce the need for invasive procedures, lowering risks and costs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could support using a non-invasive CT scan instead of an invasive catheter procedure to diagnose blocked heart arteries, making diagnosis safer and cheaper.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective study looking at past data, not a controlled trial. It can show correlation but cannot prove that FFR CT works better than standard care. Results may not apply to all patients.
