Timing feedback to improve treatment for heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether feedback about treatment timing can help people who are having a specific type of heart attack get treated faster and more effectively. You may be eligible if you arrived for emergency heart catheter treatment soon after symptoms began.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with STEMI, a specific heart-attack pattern on an ECG (heart tracing).
- You were taken to a primary hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab with the plan to do primary PCI (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries).
- Your ECG showed ST-segment elevation of at least 0.1 mV in at least two related leads, or a new/assumed-new left bundle branch block with typical symptoms.
- Your heart-attack (infarct-related) symptoms started within the last 24 hours.
- The study is for patients managed at the time of emergency transport to the catheterization center for PCI.

This study follows people after an acute heart attack (AMI) to learn what care is used and what outcomes happen over time. Your information may help doctors optimize how heart attack care is delivered in the future.
This study follows people with coronary artery disease who are starting a structured heart rehabilitation program after a heart attack or heart procedures. The trial tests whether it can predict and improve the right timing or planning for cardiac rehab.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting medication before transferring you to advanced heart attack treatment (PCI—a procedure that opens blocked arteries) is better than waiting. It's for patients having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) when the advanced treatment center is far away.
This trial studies whether adding a special heart “reset” step (ischemic postconditioning) and using an imaging guide during the emergency procedure can improve outcomes for people having a STEMI heart attack. It’s meant to optimize treatment when a blocked heart artery is being opened.
This study tests whether a remote, arm-based treatment done around the time of a heart attack can improve outcomes in people with STEMI (a serious heart-attack type). Some participants receive the real treatment and some receive a sham version, while others may be followed observationally depending on how long ago symptoms started.
This study looks at how the time from the start of a heart attack to opening the blocked artery (called total ischemic time) affects heart rhythm and recovery in patients having a type of heart attack called STEMI. The goal is to understand if longer delays lead to worse outcomes.
