NCT ID NCT06388668
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check whether cholesterol test results are reliable throughout a hospital stay for a heart attack. Researchers will measure cholesterol levels in 100 patients at the start of their stay, two days later, and again 4-6 weeks after discharge. The goal is to see if a single test at admission is enough to guide treatment, or if timing matters more.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors know the best time to measure cholesterol during a heart attack hospitalization, leading to more accurate treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at test timing, not patient outcomes, so results may not change practice.
