First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a special CT scan (dual-energy cardiac CT) can check heart muscle damage as well as an MRI in people who had a heart attack more than 24 hours earlier. The goal was to see if the CT scan could give doctors enough information to decide on treatment, avoiding extra tests like repeat angiograms or stents that might not help. About 31 adults took part, but the study was stopped early.
