Summary
This study tested whether doxycycline, an antibiotic, can prevent further heart damage after a heart attack. 174 adults who had a severe heart attack took doxycycline or a placebo twice daily for one week. Three months later, researchers used MRI scans to check heart structure and function, hoping to see less damage in the doxycycline group.
