Summary

This study tests whether a single dose of rituximab, a drug that calms the immune system, can improve heart function six months after a severe type of heart attack called anterior STEMI. About 372 adults who have had this heart attack will receive either rituximab or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the drug helps the heart pump better, as measured by MRI.
