First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is looking for clues in the blood that could predict if a person's heart will change shape or develop serious problems after a major heart attack. Researchers will collect blood samples and perform heart ultrasounds on 1,000 patients over six months. The goal is to find markers that could one day help doctors personalize care and prevent complications.
