First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether an early heart MRI can help doctors know which patients with severe heart damage after a heart attack will get better on their own. The goal was to see if MRI could identify patients who would benefit from getting a defibrillator sooner rather than waiting the usual 40 days. The study was stopped early and included only 12 participants.
