Summary

This trial tests whether a noninvasive procedure called RE-START, which uses a blood pressure cuff to temporarily stop blood flow in the arm, can improve blood flow in the heart's arteries before standard angioplasty in people having a severe heart attack (STEMI). The study involves 500 adults who are stable enough to undergo the procedure within 12 hours of symptoms. The main goal is to see if this simple technique increases the chance of natural blood flow restoration in the blocked artery before the balloon is inserted.
