NCT ID NCT05722145
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 100,000 people from different countries to see how well current risk scores predict heart disease. It focuses on making these tools more accurate for Asian populations, who have been underrepresented in past research. Participants are adults who have already had a heart CT scan. The goal is to improve prevention and diagnosis of blocked arteries.
