Blood sugar study after a new heart attack
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study measures how your body handles sugar and related hormones in people after a new STEMI heart attack, and compares them with people who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes after the event, which could help future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- You recently had a STEMI heart attack (new onset)
- Your HbA1c is below 9.0% (a blood test that estimates sugar control)
- You must be able to give consent and be medically stable (not sedated)
- You cannot be pregnant
- You should not have a serious ongoing infection, cancer, heavy immune-suppressing medicines, or major kidney/liver/heart disease

This study looks at how the heart uses energy fuel in people with heart failure, including those with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand what’s going on inside the heart and how it could be treated in the future.
This study looks at how insulin resistance affects recovery after a heart attack or unstable angina in people without diabetes. It may help understand why some patients have worse outcomes.
This study tests a new way to measure blood sugar using an ECG (heart signal) sticker. It may help people with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or those without diabetes monitor their glucose without finger sticks.
This study measures how certain blood “fat” markers relate to blood sugar control and inflammation. It may help researchers understand risk factors for heart disease in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and people preparing for weight-loss surgery.
This study looks at whether insulin resistance (when the body doesn't use insulin well) is linked to poor blood flow after a stent procedure in people with type 2 diabetes who have had a heart attack. It might help doctors understand why some people have worse outcomes after this treatment.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test measure (the triglyceride glucose index, which relates to blood sugar and fats) can help predict how much heart damage remains after emergency stent treatment for a heart attack. If you fit the criteria, joining may help doctors understand more about recovery and future risks.
