Revolutionary CT tech could replace invasive heart tests
NCT ID NCT07544277
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests advanced CT scans to find dangerous blockages in heart arteries without needing to insert a tube into the heart. About 142 adults with moderate blockages will get two types of CT scans, and results will be compared to the standard invasive test. The goal is to see if these new scans can accurately identify which blockages need treatment, reducing unnecessary procedures.

Who is studied
142 patients (age\>18 years old) referred to our hospitals for elective CCTA for ruling out CAD and CCTA evidence of moderate stenosis (50-69%) requiring functional assessment according to ESC guidelines (1) because is known that not all anatomical stenosis in the range of moderate (50-69%) are haemodynamically significant (2) or induce myocardial ischaemia (3).
