New heart scan aims to predict who is most at risk after a heart attack

NCT ID NCT03531151

Summary

This study tested new MRI scanning methods to get clearer pictures of bleeding inside the heart muscle after a heart attack. Researchers enrolled 14 patients who had recently had a heart attack to see if these new scans could better identify damage and predict who might develop future heart problems. The goal was to gather knowledge to help doctors provide better care in the future, not to treat the participants directly.
