Blood sugar swings after a heart attack may reveal hidden dangers
NCT ID NCT06014112
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether blood sugar patterns, measured continuously with a wearable sensor, can predict serious heart problems in the year following a heart attack. Researchers will enroll 850 people hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome and track their glucose levels for up to two weeks. The goal is to see if glucose variability—not just a single blood sugar reading—offers a better warning of future heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Freestyle Libre Pro iQ continuous glucose monitor
- What this could lead to
- If blood sugar patterns measured by this device predict future heart problems, doctors could use it to identify high-risk patients and tailor follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find no strong link between glucose patterns and heart events, or the device may not be practical for routine use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with ACS managed in a cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). The diagnosis of ACS will be made in the presence of chest pain with ST-segment elevation on the ECG for STEMI or ST-segment change and/or a positive troponin cycle (values in accordance with the center's protocol) for NSTEMI. Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects in cardiogenic or septic shock * Subjects with ACS initially managed in a non-investigating center * Failure to obtain free, informed, written consent signed by the participant and investigator upon admission to the ICU * Person participating in another research study with an ongoing exclusion period * Subjects participating in a study that may have an impact on post ACS prognosis * Person deprived of his or her rights, person under guardianship or curatorship * Person deprived of liberty (by judicial or administrative decision) * Persons whose physical and/or psychological health is severely impaired, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect the participant's compliance to the study * Pregnant or breastfeeding women * Person who is not affiliated to a social security system or who is a beneficiary of such a system.
