Fatty liver patients: could a blood test spot heart attack risk?
NCT ID NCT07487571
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check if a routine blood measure called mean platelet volume (MPV) can predict acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or unstable angina) in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Researchers will compare MPV levels between 60 MASLD patients who have had a heart event and those who have not. The goal is to see if MPV can serve as an early warning sign for heart problems in this group.
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 provide a simple blood test to identify fatty liver patients at higher risk for heart attacks, enabling earlier preventive care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study (60 participants) that only looks for a link, not a proven test. Results may not apply to all patients or lead to a reliable prediction tool.
