Frailty may predict heart attack outcomes better than current tools
NCT ID NCT07190274
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 645 older adults (65+) who come to the hospital with a heart attack. Researchers want to see if frailty—a state of reduced strength and energy—affects how doctors treat them and whether they have serious problems like death or another heart event within 30 days. The goal is to find out if adding a frailty check to standard risk scores helps predict outcomes more accurately.
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 risk prediction for older heart attack patients by including frailty in standard assessments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may show a link but cannot prove that changing frailty care improves outcomes.
