The DANE-HEART Trial - Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography for Primary Prevention

Prevention of Heart Disease in Adult Danes Using Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography - The DANE-HEART Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Mar 2023 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial in asymptomatic individuals with risk factors for cardiovascular disease is to investigate whether a preventive treatment strategy guided by computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) provides a patient-centered approach, which ensures optimal protection against serious cardiovascular disease. The main question it aims to answer is: Does preventive treatment guided by CTCA reduce the risk of heart attacks or cardiovascular death as compared to using conventional cardiovascular risk scores. Participants will be randomized to preventive medical therapy and/or invasive intervention guided by either CTCA (intervention group) or Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) 2 model for cardiovascular risk prediction (control group).
