First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at 2,000 people who had a heart attack to see if checking the stiffness of their blood vessels one month later can help predict future heart failure, another heart attack, or bleeding. Researchers will track participants for several years to identify which measurements best signal higher risk. The goal is to improve how doctors assess and manage recovery after a heart attack.
