Heart scan could save lives by predicting who needs a defibrillator sooner
NCT ID NCT03743935
Summary
This study tested whether a special heart MRI scan, done soon after a severe heart attack, could predict which patients' hearts would not recover well. The goal was to identify patients who might benefit from getting a life-saving defibrillator (ICD) implanted earlier than the standard waiting period. It involved a small group of patients who had a major heart attack with significant heart weakness.
