Summary
This study tests whether giving a PCSK9 inhibitor (alirocumab) right after a heart attack and for 3 months afterward helps the heart recover more than standard care alone. About 160 adults with a severe type of heart attack will be split into two groups. The main goal is to see if the drug improves heart muscle salvage, measured by MRI at 1 week and heart pumping function at 6 months.
