Blood clues may predict heart trouble after stent
NCT ID NCT00725868
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checked if certain blood markers can predict serious heart events like heart attack or death within a year after a stent procedure. Researchers measured two types of cells related to blood vessel health in 170 adults scheduled for a stent. The goal was to see if these markers could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for complications.
