ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

This study tested whether injecting a person's own stem cells into the heart could help it pump better after a heart attack. 90 adults with reduced heart function received either stem cells or standard care. The goal was to see if the stem cells improved the heart's pumping abili…

This study tested whether injecting a patient's own expanded stem cells into the heart could improve recovery after a severe heart attack. It included 49 adults whose heart pumping ability remained below 50% after the attack. The approach used an automated system to grow stem cel…

This study tested whether using only the blood thinner ticagrelor (and no aspirin) after heart attack stenting is safe. It included 200 adults who had a stent placed for a heart attack. The main goal was to see if this approach reduced the risk of serious heart problems or stent …

This study tested an experimental drug called FDY-5301 in 120 people having a severe heart attack (STEMI). The goal was to see if the drug could reduce dangerous heart rhythm problems and limit heart muscle damage compared to a placebo. Participants received the drug or placebo b…

This study tested an experimental drug called FDY 5301 in over 2,300 people who had a severe type of heart attack (anterior STEMI) and were undergoing emergency artery-opening treatment. The goal was to see if the drug could lower the chance of dying from heart problems or develo…

This study looked at whether doing cardiac rehabilitation at home, or a mix of home and clinic visits, is as effective as going to the clinic for all sessions. 206 adults with heart conditions like heart attack or heart failure took part. The goal was to see if home-based options…

This study tested a new blood test called SpinChip to see how well it can diagnose heart attacks in people arriving at the emergency room with chest pain. Over 1,500 adults took part, and their blood was tested with both the new SpinChip test and a standard test. The goal was to …

This study aimed to find the normal range of a heart protein called troponin in healthy people. The new SpinChip test measures troponin quickly to help diagnose heart attacks. Over 1,300 healthy volunteers gave blood samples to set these reference limits. This is a key step towar…

This study looked at whether a blood test measuring troponin levels can tell if a heart attack involves bleeding in the heart muscle. Researchers studied 227 adults who had a severe type of heart attack called STEMI. The goal was to improve how doctors diagnose and treat this con…

This study looked at 832 Chinese adults who had a heart attack and then developed a new irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) while in the hospital. Researchers wanted to see if the amount of time spent in this irregular rhythm affected the risk of death or other heart proble…

This study looked at blood clots from 380 people who had a sudden cardiac arrest or a heart attack. Researchers wanted to see if the age and makeup of the clot could explain why some people die suddenly while others do not. The goal is to better understand the causes of sudden ca…

This study looked at 250 people who had a specific type of severe heart attack (hemorrhagic MI) to see if a new imaging measurement, called the Wall Strain Index (WSI) ratio, could predict which patients are at risk for a dangerous complication where the heart muscle tears (cardi…

This study measured how often people with a certain type of heart attack (hemorrhagic myocardial infarction) develop dangerous heart rhythms after a procedure to open blocked arteries (PCI). Researchers monitored 250 adults aged 18-85 for premature beats and rapid heart rates. Th…

This study looked at medical records from over 24,000 people across the US to find out how often heart attacks involve bleeding inside the heart muscle. The goal was to measure the number of cases in each state and see how this type of heart attack affects later health problems l…

This study looked at 1,000 people who had a heart attack to understand why some had no common risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Researchers compared those with and without these risk factors to find new clues in blood tests, imaging, and medical history…

This study reviewed medical records of over 6,000 people who had a severe heart attack (STEMI) and were treated with blood thinners. Researchers wanted to see how different blood thinners affect the risk of bleeding inside the heart and other complications. The goal was to learn …

This study created a scoring system to predict which heart attack patients are likely to have bleeding inside the heart muscle. Researchers studied 252 adults having emergency artery-opening procedures. The goal was to identify high-risk patients early using simple clinical facto…
