Heart scan may predict recovery after heart attack
NCT ID NCT07568587
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 30 people who had a heart attack and were treated with a procedure to open blocked arteries. Researchers used a special heart scan soon after treatment to see how much heart muscle was saved. They then checked if that scan could predict how well the heart would pump blood 6 months later. The goal was to learn if early scans can help doctors know which patients will recover better.
