Heart attack survivors: new study seeks safer, smarter drug plan after stents
NCT ID NCT07432516
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 4,400 people who had a heart attack and got a stent. It tests two drug strategies: one to lower bleeding risk by adjusting blood thinners, and another to lower cholesterol using a milder statin plus ezetimibe. The goal is to find the safest and most effective long-term treatment to prevent future heart problems.
