Summary

This study looked at whether taking trimetazidine long-term can reduce the amount of scarring in the heart after a heart attack. Researchers followed 194 people who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) and had already undergone a procedure to reopen their blocked artery. They used MRI scans to measure heart scarring 6 months later. The goal was to see if this drug, which helps heart cells use energy more efficiently, could limit permanent damage.
