Can scans and lifestyle changes outsmart heart disease?
NCT ID NCT00756379
Summary
This study is testing whether a combination of advanced PET heart scans, intensive lifestyle coaching, and targeted medication is better at managing stable heart disease and preventing heart attacks than standard medical care. It involves about 1,085 adults aged 40 and older who are at risk for or already have heart disease. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the intensive program or standard care and are followed for up to 10 years to see which approach leads to better health outcomes.
