MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

This study looks at a special stent (a small mesh tube) coated with a drug called sirolimus, used to open blocked heart arteries. Researchers will follow 300 adults who received this stent during a standard heart procedure to see how safe and effective it is over 5 years. The mai…

This study tests whether a medicine given as a nose spray before a heart stent procedure can reduce heart muscle injury or heart attack. About 1800 adults scheduled for elective stent placement will receive either the medicine or a placebo spray. Researchers will measure heart da…

This study tests a new radiation treatment for people with a life-threatening fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia that hasn't been helped by medication or prior procedures. About 24 adults with an implanted defibrillator will receive a single, targeted dose of radiat…

This study tests whether a smartwatch, combined with artificial intelligence, can help monitor heart attack patients during their recovery at home. About 1,050 participants will either use the smartwatch with AI, a smartwatch without AI, or receive standard care. The goal is to s…

This study tests a smartphone-based rehab program for young and middle-aged people (18-60) who had a heart attack. The program uses an app to guide exercise, diet, medication, and stress management, with support from a team of heart doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and psychologis…

This study will test a new, more accurate blood test (Troponin T high-sensitivity Gen 6) to see if it helps doctors diagnose heart attacks faster. Researchers will compare emergency department visit data from 19,500 patients before and after the test is introduced. The goal is to…

This study will develop and test an artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict the risk of a heart attack within 6 months in people who have already had one. Researchers will combine different types of patient data to create a more accurate risk score. The goal is to identify …

This study tests whether adding cilostazol, a drug that improves blood flow, to standard aspirin or clopidogrel therapy can prevent another stroke or heart attack in people who have recently had a stroke or mini-stroke. About 2,000 participants will take either cilostazol or a pl…

This study looks at whether listening to music can help lower anxiety and improve sleep in people who have had a heart attack and are spending their first night in a special heart unit. About 64 adults will take part. They will listen to music and then use eye masks and earplugs …

This study tests whether a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program can improve quality of life and health behaviors in heart patients living in low-resource settings in Pakistan. The program includes diet advice, exercise suggestions, medication reminders, and counseling, deliv…

This study will create a digital twin of the heart for 1,000 people who have had a heart attack. The goal is to see if this computer model can better predict who is at risk for sudden cardiac death compared to the current standard method. Participants will undergo a cardiac CT sc…

This study tests whether using very low radiation doses combined with special software can produce clear images of the heart's arteries. About 50 adults scheduled for a standard heart angiogram will have extra images taken with the new low-radiation method. The goal is to see if …

This study aims to create a risk prediction tool for ischemic stroke in people who have had a heart attack but do not have atrial fibrillation. Researchers will analyze the medical records of 4,000 past patients to see if common hospital data can accurately predict stroke risk du…
