Summary

This study tracks 1,650 people who had a first heart attack to see if men and women's hearts change shape and size differently during recovery. Using repeated heart scans (echocardiograms and MRIs), researchers aim to understand why women tend to have worse outcomes like heart failure. The study is purely observational and does not test any new treatment.
