First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study will enroll 135 adults who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) and were treated with angioplasty. Researchers will use a special ultrasound technique to measure left atrium strain within 48 hours of admission. The goal is to see if this measurement can predict in-hospital complications like heart failure, shock, or death.
