Frailty may be key to predicting bleeding in elderly heart patients
NCT ID NCT07158788
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will enroll 850 adults over 65 who have had a heart attack (acute coronary syndrome). Researchers want to see if adding frailty measurements to standard risk scores improves the prediction of serious bleeding during the hospital stay and up to 6 months later. The goal is to better identify high-risk patients who might need closer monitoring or adjusted treatments.
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 better tools for predicting bleeding risk in older heart attack patients, helping doctors make safer treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not change practice directly, and results might not apply to all patients.
