Could a single drug infusion save more heart muscle after a major attack?
Disease control CompletedThis study tested whether a drug called dexrazoxane, given through a vein, can reduce permanent heart muscle damage in people having a severe heart attack (STEMI) and undergoing a standard stent procedure. About 50 adults with their first severe heart attack took part. The goal w…

Blood test may replace scans for heart attack staging
Diagnosis CompletedThis study looked at whether a high-sensitivity blood test for troponin I can accurately determine the stage of a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) in 312 patients. Researchers analyzed blood samples taken at specific times to see if they could replace or reduce the need…

Blood test may spot hidden bleeding in heart attacks
Diagnosis CompletedThis 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…

New heart scan score could predict deadly rupture after heart attack
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis 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…

Heart attack bleeding linked to dangerous rhythms?
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis 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…

Massive study reveals hidden bleeding in heart attacks
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis 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…

Heart attack drug safety checked in 6,000 patients
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis 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 …

New score predicts bleeding heart attacks before opening blocked arteries
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis 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…
