This research study uses a special ultrasound technique called intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to measure how blood flows through three major arteries in your heart. Researchers want to understand whether this measurement can predict which patients with coronary artery disease — narrowed heart arteries — are more likely to experience serious heart events in the coming year. The study will follow about 494 patients for one year to see if this new measurement helps doctors better understand heart disease risk.
Coronary artery disease affects many people, but doctors sometimes struggle to know which patients are at highest risk for heart attacks or other serious complications. This study exists to see whether measuring blood flow patterns with ultrasound can help predict which patients need more aggressive treatment or closer monitoring.

If you qualify, you will undergo an intravascular ultrasound procedure, where a thin catheter with ultrasound technology is guided through your heart arteries to measure blood flow in all three major vessels. This imaging will be analyzed by specialists at a core laboratory. After this procedure, you will be followed up for one year with regular check-ins to track whether you experience any heart-related problems like heart attacks, heart-related deaths, or the need for additional interventions.
