ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

This trial is testing the best timing for opening additional blocked arteries in people who have had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) with multiple blocked vessels. After the main blocked artery is opened, participants are randomly assigned to have the other blockages treate…

This study compares two ways to guide stent placement during emergency treatment for a severe type of heart attack (STEMI). About 2,500 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either standard X-ray guidance or ultrasound guidance (IVUS) during the procedure. The goal is to …

This study compares two blood thinners, bivalirudin and heparin, used during a heart procedure called PCI in people with acute coronary syndrome who are at high risk of bleeding. About 5,270 participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two drugs. The goal is to se…

This study looks at whether a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program—including supervised exercise, education, and lifestyle advice—can improve heart function and quality of life in people who have had a heart attack treated with stenting. One hundred participants will be randoml…

This trial tests whether a structured oral hydration plan—drinking at least 1,500 mL of fluid within 12 hours around the procedure—can reduce the risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary P…

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…
