ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROMES (ACS)

This study compares a three-drug combination (atorvastatin, ezetimibe, and bempedoic acid) against the usual two-drug therapy for lowering LDL cholesterol in people who recently had a heart attack or unstable angina. About 120 adults will take either the triple or dual therapy fo…

This study looks at whether a routine blood test measuring mean platelet volume (MPV) can help predict acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or unstable angina) in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Researchers will compare MPV levels in…

This study will look at medical records from 10,000 adults in Qatar who have heart disease and diabetes or prediabetes. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to find patterns that predict future heart attacks, strokes, or death. The goal is to create better risk prediction…
