New study aims to predict heart attacks before they happen
NCT ID NCT05800093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how combining blood tests (proteomics and genomics) with CT scans can help predict the worsening of coronary artery disease. Researchers will follow 310 adults aged 50-75 who have early signs of plaque in their heart arteries but no symptoms. The goal is to better understand which plaques are dangerous and may lead to future heart problems.
