MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

This study follows 1,344 heart attack patients who received a stent procedure to open blocked arteries. Researchers are tracking whether this approach reduces future heart problems compared to medication alone. The study monitors complications, hospital readmissions, and quality …

This study is testing if giving a cholesterol-lowering drug called evolocumab very early to people hospitalized for a heart attack can help prevent future heart attacks, strokes, or death. It will compare giving the drug plus standard care against standard care alone in over 6,00…

This study followed over 1,000 people who had a heart attack and a stent placed. It compared standard medical care to a program that added a 4-month supervised exercise plan. The goal was to see if the exercise program improved long-term heart health and reduced future heart prob…

This study compares how well two different drug-coated stents heal inside heart arteries. Researchers are looking at 160 patients who need a stent for coronary artery disease, angina, or heart attack. They will use special imaging to check how the artery wall heals around the ste…

This study is testing whether daily supplements of dried bilberry and processed oat bran can help control heart disease and diabetes. It involves 900 adults who have type 2 diabetes or have had a heart attack. Researchers will check if these food-based supplements can lower 'bad'…

This study is testing whether a one-year course of a dietary supplement called spermidine can help older adults with heart disease. Spermidine is a natural compound found in foods like whole grains and nuts. Researchers will check if it improves heart function, muscle mass, physi…

This early study is testing a new device that freezes dangerous, non-blocking plaque in heart arteries to try to stabilize it and prevent it from rupturing and causing a major heart attack. It involves up to 30 patients who recently had a heart attack or unstable chest pain and h…

This study uses two advanced imaging techniques to identify the underlying causes of heart attacks in people whose coronary arteries appear clear on standard tests. Researchers will follow 450 participants for up to 10 years to track their health outcomes. The goal is to better u…

This large study is testing if a new way to diagnose heart attacks is better than the current standard. It aims to see if the new method helps doctors spot blocked arteries faster, leading to quicker treatment, less permanent heart damage, and fewer deaths and hospital readmissio…

This study is testing whether a smartphone app that analyzes a person's voice to detect signs of depression and anxiety can help improve mental health for people recovering from a heart attack. The app is being used alongside standard cardiac rehabilitation to see if it leads to …

This study aims to understand how the heart changes shape and function after a heart attack. Researchers are observing over 1,500 people in specific Minnesota counties who have had a heart attack. The goal is to learn which patterns of heart change are linked to developing heart …

This long-term study aims to understand how hidden, early-stage heart disease (atherosclerosis) develops and progresses to major events like heart attacks or strokes. It follows over 6,400 adults from four different ethnic backgrounds who started the study with no known heart dis…

This study is testing whether a new genetic risk score helps doctors and patients manage heart disease risk better. It will follow 1,000 adults without known heart disease for 5 years to see if getting this score changes how doctors prescribe medications or order tests, and if it…

This study aims to understand how common heart disease and its risk factors are among adults in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Researchers will follow about 3,000 people for several years, tracking their health, lifestyle, and diet. The goal is to gather information to help plan better h…

This study aims to understand why some people have heart attacks even when their main heart arteries don't show significant blockages. Researchers will use two advanced imaging techniques—one to examine artery walls and another to look at heart muscle damage—in 15 patients who've…

This study uses special brain scans to check for inflammation in the brain after a person has a heart attack. Researchers want to see if the body-wide inflammation from a heart attack also affects the brain. The findings could help doctors understand the link between heart and br…
