Stomach slowdown may delay heart attack drug action
NCT ID NCT02251249
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed study looked at whether stomach emptying is slower during a heart attack, which could delay the absorption of crucial antiplatelet drugs. Researchers measured paracetamol levels in the blood every 15 minutes in 23 participants to track stomach emptying. The goal was to understand why some patients don't respond quickly to treatment, potentially leading to better care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand why some heart attack patients don't respond quickly to antiplatelet drugs, potentially leading to better treatment strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 23 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It is observational in nature and does not test a new treatment.
