Sleepless after a heart attack? study investigates hidden risks
NCT ID NCT07416617
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses a large Korean health database to see if developing insomnia after a heart attack (treated with stents or bypass surgery) is linked to worse long-term outcomes like death, another heart attack, or stroke. Researchers will compare patients who take insomnia medication with those who do not. The goal is to understand whether insomnia itself is a risk factor that needs attention.
