Sleep apnea and heart attacks: new study aims to predict danger
NCT ID NCT07398430
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 1200 people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and also have sleep apnea. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and stool samples to understand how sleep apnea affects metabolism and heart risk. The goal is to build an AI-based tool to better predict future heart attacks or strokes in these patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more accurate way to predict heart and brain events in people with both sleep apnea and acute coronary syndrome.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any therapy, and the model may not be accurate enough for widespread use.
