MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

This study followed over 1,000 people who had a heart attack and a stent placed. It compared standard medical care to a program that added a 4-month supervised exercise plan. The goal was to see if the exercise program improved long-term heart health and reduced future heart prob…

This study compares how well two different drug-coated stents heal inside heart arteries. Researchers are looking at 160 patients who need a stent for coronary artery disease, angina, or heart attack. They will use special imaging to check how the artery wall heals around the ste…

This study is testing whether daily supplements of dried bilberry and processed oat bran can help control heart disease and diabetes. It involves 900 adults who have type 2 diabetes or have had a heart attack. Researchers will check if these food-based supplements can lower 'bad'…

This study is testing whether a one-year course of a dietary supplement called spermidine can help older adults with heart disease. Spermidine is a natural compound found in foods like whole grains and nuts. Researchers will check if it improves heart function, muscle mass, physi…

This early study is testing a new device that freezes dangerous, non-blocking plaque in heart arteries to try to stabilize it and prevent it from rupturing and causing a major heart attack. It involves up to 30 patients who recently had a heart attack or unstable chest pain and h…

This study is looking at how well a common heart procedure called PCI works for people who've had a heart attack. Researchers are following over 1,300 patients to see if this treatment reduces serious heart problems compared to other approaches. They're tracking complications, ho…

This study is testing if giving a cholesterol-lowering drug called evolocumab very early after a heart attack, along with standard care, is better than standard care alone at preventing future serious heart problems. It involves over 6,000 adults who were hospitalized for a heart…

This large study is testing if a new way to diagnose heart attacks is better than the current standard. It aims to see if the new method helps doctors spot blocked arteries faster, leading to quicker treatment, less permanent heart damage, and fewer deaths and hospital readmissio…

This study is testing whether a smartphone app that analyzes a person's voice to detect signs of depression and anxiety can help improve mental health for people recovering from a heart attack. The app is being used alongside standard cardiac rehabilitation to see if it leads to …

This study is testing whether a new genetic risk score helps doctors and patients manage heart disease risk better. It will follow 1,000 adults without known heart disease for 5 years to see if getting this score changes how doctors prescribe medications or order tests, and if it…

This study aims to understand how common heart disease and its risk factors are among adults in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Researchers will follow about 3,000 people for several years, tracking their health, lifestyle, and diet. The goal is to gather information to help plan better h…

This is a long-term observational study that aims to understand how heart and blood vessel diseases develop in people before they show symptoms. It follows over 6,400 healthy men and women from four different ethnic backgrounds, aged 45-84, using regular scans and tests over many…

This study aimed to understand how the heart muscle changes shape and size after a heart attack. Researchers followed 1,599 people from specific Minnesota counties who had a recent heart attack. The goal was to learn which patterns of heart change are linked to developing heart f…

This study aims to understand why some people have heart attacks even when their main heart arteries don't show significant blockages. Researchers will use two advanced imaging techniques—one to examine artery walls and another to look at heart muscle damage—in 15 patients who've…

This study uses special brain scans to check for inflammation in the brain after a person has a heart attack. Researchers want to see if the body-wide inflammation from a heart attack also affects the brain. The findings could help doctors understand the link between heart and br…
