Heart scan strategy aims to slash cardiac events in rural china
NCT ID NCT07416344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a special heart CT scan to guide intensive treatment can reduce major heart problems like heart attacks and strokes compared to standard care. About 15,000 high-risk adults aged 40-75 in rural China will take part. The goal is to see if this personalized approach leads to fewer deaths and heart-related emergencies over 18 months, with a longer follow-up at 36 months.
