Blood fat test may reveal hidden heart dangers after stent surgery
NCT ID NCT07197242
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring a type of fat in the blood, called lipoprotein(a), can help predict future heart problems in people who have had a stent placed to open a blocked artery. Researchers will follow 156 adults for one year after their procedure to see if those with higher Lp(a) levels are more likely to have a heart attack or need another procedure. The goal is to improve how doctors assess heart risk, not to test a new treatment.
