First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gathered information from about 2,700 people with coronary artery disease who had a special imaging test called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) during a heart procedure. Researchers followed participants for up to 5 years to track major heart problems. The goal was to learn more about heart disease, not to test a new treatment.
