This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The FAMILY Study uses a special heart scan called cardiac CT to look for early signs of heart disease in people who don't have symptoms yet but whose family members have had heart attacks. Researchers want to understand how common hidden heart disease is in these high-risk families and whether catching it early can help prevent future heart attacks.
Family history of heart disease is a strong warning sign, but doctors don't know how many people with this family history already have hidden heart disease before symptoms appear. This study aims to see if finding this disease early—before any symptoms—could help doctors treat people more aggressively and prevent heart attacks.

If you qualify, you will visit the study center for a cardiac CT scan—a non-invasive imaging test that takes pictures of your heart arteries—and have a blood sample collected for genetic and other testing. The researchers will use the scan results and blood tests to understand whether you have hidden signs of heart disease and to look for genetic patterns linked to early heart disease in families.
