New approach to protect heart attack patients from dangerous stomach bleeding

This study compares two approaches to protect the stomachs of heart attack patients who need blood-thinning medications. Researchers want to see if routinely giving a newer stomach-protecting drug works better than following current medical guidelines. The study will involve 5,000 patients who recently had a heart attack and had a stent placed. The main goal is to see which approach better prevents serious complications like death, another heart attack, stroke, or major bleeding within one year.
