Scientists probe heart attack clues to stop sudden death
NCT ID NCT00748111
Summary
This study aimed to understand why some heart attacks cause sudden death while others do not. Researchers compared the age and makeup of blood clots collected from 380 people who survived a heart attack and those who died suddenly from a heart blockage. They tested the idea that a fast-forming, fresh clot is more likely to trigger the fatal irregular heartbeat seen in sudden cardiac death.
