Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn more about your heart and coronary arteries (the vessels that supply the heart with blood).  Using a previously performed computed tomography (CT) scan (a special type of x-ray) of the heart or CT of the chest, researchers will look for calcium in your coronary arteries.  By measuring the amount of calcium present, researchers will make a measurement of your heart health. This information may help guide medical treatment in the future.
