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 study tests different ways of restoring blood flow for people having a heart attack (STEMI) when the usual emergency procedure (primary PCI) may be delayed. It aims to see if giving a clot-busting medicine beforehand is as good as waiting for the procedure, or if another approach works better.
This study looks at how the time between your heart attack and treatment with angioplasty affects certain electrical patterns in your heart and how well you recover. The goal is to see if quicker treatment helps improve outcomes.
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.
