Detecting hidden carotid and coronary plaque to find adults at very high heart-attack risk
This project will test whether adding carotid ultrasound and coronary exploration to the SCORE2 risk calculator finds asymptomatic adults aged 40–79 at very high risk of heart attack better than SCORE2 alone.
-
Digital heart-health app and lifestyle program for adults with heart disease or high-risk diabetes
This program will test whether adding a digital heart-health app and lifestyle support to usual care helps adults on statins with established heart disease or high-risk type 2 diabetes lower their cardiovascular risk.
-
Registry for understanding how genes affect medication responses
This study is trying to see how your genes affect how you respond to medications, so doctors can better choose the right treatments for you, especially if you're taking several drugs or have had bad reactions to them.
-
Effects of liver fat on statin response in children
This study tests how liver fat affects how well the cholesterol medicine rosuvastatin works in children and teens with high LDL cholesterol.
-
Imaging cholesterol trafficking in the adrenal gland using a new radiotracer
This study is testing a new imaging tool to see if it can help get clearer pictures of the adrenal gland in both healthy people and those with adrenal problems.
-
Imaging cholesterol trafficking in healthy individuals using a new PET tracer
This study is testing a new imaging method to see how cholesterol moves in the body by using a special tracer in healthy people.
