Can we predict sudden cardiac death after a heart attack? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07545512
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 400 people who had a heart attack and have moderately reduced heart function (ejection fraction 35-50%). Participants will get a small implantable heart monitor to track their heart rhythm for up to 5 years. The goal is to identify markers that could predict who is at risk of sudden cardiac death, so doctors can better decide who needs a defibrillator.
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 better tools to predict who is at risk of sudden cardiac death after a heart attack, helping doctors decide who needs a defibrillator.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear markers, and results may not change practice for years. The implantable monitor carries small risks like infection or discomfort.
