Could a silent blood mutation worsen heart attacks?

NCT ID NCT07615023

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether a common age-related blood condition called CHIP (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential) is linked to more severe heart damage in people having a major heart attack (STEMI). Researchers will test blood samples and use heart MRI scans in 350 patients to see if those with CHIP have worse outcomes. The goal is to better understand why some patients recover poorly despite successful emergency treatment.
