MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (MI)

This study compares two types of heart ablation (a procedure that scars tiny areas of heart tissue to stop abnormal electrical signals) for treating dangerous fast heart rhythms that can occur after a heart attack. About 220 adults who have an implanted defibrillator and have had…

This study tests whether taking algae supplements (spirulina or seaweed) for 20 weeks can improve heart health markers and gut bacteria in 150 adults aged 50+ with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or kidney disease. Participants are randomly assigned to receive algae or a…

This study is testing whether a drug-coated balloon can replace the usual stent in emergency heart attack treatment. The balloon delivers medication to open blocked arteries without leaving a permanent implant. Researchers will track 300 patients to see if this approach is safe a…

This study tests whether montelukast, a common asthma medication, can reduce heart muscle damage and prevent heart failure in people having a severe type of heart attack called anterior STEMI. About 512 adults will receive montelukast or a placebo right after emergency artery-ope…

This study looks at whether people with heart disease should keep taking aspirin or stop it before a colonoscopy. Stopping aspirin might raise the risk of heart problems, but continuing it could increase bleeding during the procedure. The trial will follow 2,514 participants to f…

This study looks at whether adding core muscle exercises (like Pilates) to standard cardiac rehab helps people with heart failure or a recent heart attack recover better. Sixty adults will be split into three groups: core training only, aerobic exercise only, or both combined. Th…

This study looks at 780 adults with a type of heart attack (NSTEMI) who also have sudden heart failure (fluid in the lungs). Half will get a coronary angiogram (X-ray of heart arteries) within 2 hours of diagnosis, and the other half will wait until their breathing improves. The …

This study looks at whether empagliflozin, a diabetes drug, can help blood vessels and heart function recover after a heart attack. About 80 adults who had a severe heart attack will either receive the drug or standard care. Researchers will measure artery stiffness, heart strain…

This study tests whether an AI-assisted ECG reading is as safe and effective as the usual method for quickly deciding if a patient with chest pain is having a heart attack. About 4,670 adults with chest pain and suspected heart attack will be randomly assigned to either AI-guided…

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors diagnose a certain type of heart attack (occlusion myocardial infarction) earlier in people with symptoms but unclear standard ECG results. About 500 adults will be randomly assigned to have their ECG …

This study tests a new CT scan method to check for blocked heart arteries in people who survive a cardiac arrest. The scan uses existing images and special software, so no extra medication or monitoring is needed. Researchers will compare the CT results with standard angiography …

This study looks at patients with a severe condition called mixed cardiogenic-vasoplegic shock, where the heart fails to pump and blood vessels widen too much. Researchers will review medical records from 2,500 adults in French hospitals to learn more about who survives and why. …

This study is looking at 1,600 people who had a heart attack to see if a simple, cheap blood test (called NLR) can help predict who is at higher risk of dying or having another heart problem within 6 months. Researchers will measure inflammation levels from blood samples taken at…

This study will use advanced MRI scans to measure heart tissue in 2000 adults with different heart conditions. The goal is to create a reference guide for doctors to interpret these scans more easily, and to see if a simpler scan without contrast dye can be used for diagnosis. Pa…

This study collects raw CT scan data from 50 adults to test a new heart imaging mode. Participants either need a routine heart CT or have had a heart attack or catheterization. They receive one extra research scan on the same day, with no follow-up visits. The goal is to improve …

This study is for people who have had a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a rare heart condition that mostly affects women. Researchers will follow 300 participants for one year to learn about risk factors and complications. The study does not test any new treatments…

This study looks at whether a special heart MRI can help predict future heart attacks, strokes, or other serious heart problems in people with ischemic heart disease. Researchers will review medical records from 1,000 adults who have already had this MRI. The goal is to see which…
