Heart attack prevention showdown: plaque imaging vs. blood flow tests
NCT ID NCT07324720
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tests two strategies for deciding which narrowed heart arteries to treat with stents. One strategy uses a special camera to look at the plaque buildup and decide based on how much and how dangerous it looks. The other uses a pressure wire to measure blood flow and decide based on which blockages are starving the heart of oxygen. About 1,944 high-risk patients will be randomly assigned to one of these approaches, and researchers will track who has fewer heart attacks or needs repeat procedures over time.
