U.S., March 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06879769) titled 'Optimization of Patient Preparation and Imaging Techniques for Cardiac CT' on Feb. 28.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare four different methods of reducing heart rate before cardiac imaging. The diagnostic imaging technique used in this study is called Computed Tomography (CT) of the coronary vessels (CCTA). Globally, approximately one-third of patients experience heart-related conditions. Because the heart is a moving organ, imaging presents challenges. A higher heart rate requires increased scanning power, which results in more images and, in some cases, higher radiation exposure that may be harmful. To...
