Could aging clues in the blood predict heart attack recovery?
NCT ID NCT07705997
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 600 older adults (age 60+) who have had a heart attack to see if aging-related markers in their blood and body can predict future heart problems or death. Researchers collect medical data, blood samples, and heart scans over at least two years. The goal is to build a better risk prediction tool that combines aging signs with standard heart risk factors, helping doctors tailor follow-up care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test or risk score that helps doctors personalize care for older heart attack survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all heart attack patients, and the biomarkers identified may not improve predictions beyond current methods.

Who is studied
The study population includes consecutively enrolled patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and aging characteristics at a single center. Eligible participants will undergo standardized clinical assessment, aging evaluation, biospecimen collection, and prospective follow-up to investigate aging-related biomarkers and long-term clinical outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Age ≥ 60 years old and meet the above comprehensive aging assessment criteria (i.e., combined with at least one clinical phenotype of aging and abnormal blood aging markers on the basis of advanced age); 2. Acute myocardial infarction occurs for ≥ 3 months; 3. Meet the diagnostic criteria for AMI in accordance with the Fourth Edition General Definition of Myocardial Infarction; 4. The patient or their legal representative signs an informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Newly diagnosed acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke or transient ischemic attack within the past 3 months; 2. Serious life-threatening diseases (such as advanced malignant tumors, end-stage kidney disease/liver disease, severe infections) with an estimated lifespan of less than 1 year; 3. Severe cognitive impairment, mental illness, inability to cooperate in completing follow-up, aging assessment, and related examinations; 4. Unable to complete assessment items such as grip strength, walking speed, and 6-minute walk test due to non cardiac reasons such as physical disabilities and severe bone and joint diseases; 5. Failed to sign the informed consent form.
