SCOT-HEART 2

Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography for the Prevention of Myocardial Infarction (The SCOT-HEART 2 Trial)

In the SCOT-HEART 2 trial, we will recruit at least 6,000 people from Scotland who are at risk of heart disease and will compare two ways of deciding how to prevent future heart problems. We will compare the current standard of care, using a Scottish ‘risk score’, with a CTCA scan to look at the heart.  This will help us find out if making decisions based on the results of a CTCA will stop too many people being given medicines they don’t really need, and see whether it lowers the number of people developing heart disease.
