Global heart study seeks to settle Blood-Thinner debate

NCT ID NCT03252249

Summary

This large international study aimed to find the safest length of time for patients to take two blood-thinning drugs after a heart attack. It compared shorter and longer treatment durations to see which better balanced the risk of future heart problems against the risk of serious bleeding. The trial involved over 5,000 patients and used real-world health records to track outcomes efficiently.
