New blood test could predict your next heart attack
NCT ID NCT05175261
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new blood test that measures a protein on platelets called FcγRIIa. Researchers wanted to see if higher levels of this protein could predict future heart attacks, strokes, or death in people who had already had a heart attack. About 764 participants were enrolled and followed for up to 18 months. The goal is to develop a risk score combining this test with other factors to guide treatment.
