MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (MI)

This study is observing patients who have a major type of heart attack (STEMI) to see how they do after being treated with a special drug-coated balloon instead of the standard metal stent. The goal is to collect real-world data on whether this balloon procedure is safe and works…

This study is testing whether two types of algae supplements can improve markers of heart health and change gut bacteria in people with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or kidney disease. 150 participants aged 50+ will take either spirulina, another seaweed supplement, or…

This study aims to find the best time to perform a coronary angiography (a procedure to image the heart's arteries) in patients who have a specific type of heart attack that also causes sudden, severe heart failure. Researchers will compare doing the procedure immediately (within…

This large study aims to settle a common medical dilemma: whether heart patients should continue or stop their daily aspirin before a colonoscopy. Researchers will compare two groups of over 2,500 patients to see which approach leads to fewer heart problems or serious bleeding ev…

This study is testing whether adding core muscle training to standard cardiac rehabilitation exercises helps people recover better from a heart attack or heart failure. It will compare three different exercise programs over eight weeks in 60 stable patients. The main goal is to s…

This study is testing if a more thorough heart ablation procedure works better than the standard one for controlling dangerous rapid heartbeats. It involves 220 people who have had a heart attack, have an implanted defibrillator, and still experience these fast rhythms. Researche…

This study is testing if a diabetes medication called empagliflozin can help improve blood vessel health and heart function in people recovering from a major heart attack. It will follow 80 patients for one year, comparing those who take the drug to those who do not. The goal is …

This study is testing if montelukast, a common asthma and allergy medication, can help protect the heart in people who have just had a severe type of heart attack (anterior STEMI). Researchers want to see if giving this drug alongside standard stent treatment can reduce heart dam…

This study is testing whether a new AI tool that reads heart scans (ECGs) is as safe and effective as the current standard process for quickly evaluating patients with chest pain in the emergency department. It will involve about 4,670 people who come to the ER with chest pain th…

This study is testing a new, faster type of CT scan to quickly check for blocked heart arteries in people who have survived a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if this scan is as accurate as the current, more complex test (coronary angiography) at finding blockages. If it works,…

This study aims to see if a simple, cheap blood test can predict which heart attack patients are at higher risk of dying or having another serious heart problem within six months. Researchers will track 1600 patients who have had a heart attack and received a stent. They will che…

This study aims to collect raw data from CT scans using a new imaging mode to help improve future heart imaging technology. It will enroll 50 adults who are either scheduled for a standard heart CT scan or have a history of heart attack or cardiac catheterization. Participants wi…

This study aims to better understand a severe and complex type of heart failure called mixed cardiogenic-vasoplegic shock. Researchers will look back at the medical records of 2,500 patients from three French hospitals to see how many survive and what factors lead to worse outcom…

This study looks back at existing heart MRI scans from 1,000 patients with coronary artery disease or previous heart attacks. Researchers want to see if specific measurements from these detailed scans can help predict who might experience serious heart problems in the future, lik…

This study aims to better understand a rare type of heart attack called spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), which mostly affects women under 60. Researchers will follow 300 patients in Norway for one year after their SCAD event to track complications and identify risk …

This study aims to create a detailed picture of how heart tissue appears on a specific type of MRI scan (called T1 mapping) in people with various heart conditions. Researchers will scan 2,000 adult patients who already have a diagnosed heart disease to establish normal measureme…
