10-Year Follow-Up reveals best way to image heart arteries
NCT ID NCT06237673
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 318 people with suspected coronary artery disease for about 10 years to see whether starting with a CT scan or an invasive angiogram leads to better long-term outcomes. Participants had already completed an earlier study and agreed to additional follow-up, including CT imaging and lab tests. The goal is to understand how plaque buildup in the arteries changes over time and which initial testing strategy is safer and more effective.
