This study tests a simple balloon inflation technique to modify blood clots during emergency heart artery opening. 100 heart attack patients will either get the balloon procedure or standard care. The goal is to see if this reduces damage to the heart muscle and improves recovery…

This study tests whether adding the blood thinner rivaroxaban to standard aspirin and clopidogrel can improve sluggish blood flow in heart attack patients who just had a stent placed. About 60 adults will receive either the triple therapy or standard dual therapy for one month. R…

This study investigates whether a condition called clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), which is an age-related change in blood cells, is linked to more severe heart damage in people who have had a major heart attack (STEMI). Researchers will test blood samples…

This study looks at whether a score called CALLY, calculated from routine blood tests, can help predict short-term problems like heart failure or death in people having emergency treatment for a heart attack. Researchers will follow 140 patients for 30 days after their procedure.…

This study looks at whether the bacteria in your gut can affect how your heart heals after a heart attack procedure called PCI. Researchers will measure a substance called TMAO, made by gut bacteria, in 144 patients. The goal is to see if TMAO levels are linked to changes in hear…
