This study is gathering information from 5,000 patients who are getting a special type of heart imaging scan called a PET/CT scan using a tracer called 15O-H2O. The scan takes pictures of how blood flows through your heart at rest and during stress, helping doctors see if there are blocked areas. Researchers will follow you for up to 10 years to see how well this scan can predict future heart problems.
Doctors want to better understand what normal and abnormal results look like on this type of heart scan, and whether it can reliably predict which patients will have serious heart problems in the future. By collecting data from thousands of patients over many years, researchers hope to make this test more useful for patient care.

You will have the heart imaging scan as you normally would at the hospital—a PET/CT scan that takes pictures of your heart at rest and while you exercise or take medication to stress your heart. After your scan, researchers will follow your health for up to 10 years, checking medical records to see if you experience any major heart events. No extra visits or procedures are required beyond your regular clinical care.
