Summary

This study explores whether a special PET/MR scan can detect early signs of heart muscle damage after a heart attack. Researchers will scan 25 adults about 10 days after their heart attack and then track their heart function with MRI scans at 3 and 6 months. The goal is to see if the early scan can predict which patients will develop long-term heart remodeling and potential heart failure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
68Ga-FAPI-04 (a radioactive tracer for PET scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this scan could help doctors identify patients at risk for heart failure after a heart attack, allowing earlier treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study. The scan is experimental and may not reliably predict remodeling or improve outcomes.
