A Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography-guided Intervention for High Risk Cardiovascular Disease Population in Rural China

A Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography-guided Intensive Intervention for Population at High Risk for Cardiovascular Disease in Rural China: a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The CARDIAC trial is a prospective, parallel, open-label cluster randomized trial that aims to determine the effectiveness of a coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA)-guided intensive intervention strategy, as compared with standard care, on reducing the incidence of major adverse events (MACE) at 18 months among high-risk cardiovascular populations in rural China. An extended observational follow-up at 36 months will be conducted to further evaluate the effect on long-term clinical outcomes.
