Stiff arteries after heart attack may signal future trouble
NCT ID NCT04058782
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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.
