FDG heart scan study for people after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies people who had a heart attack more than 90 days ago using an FDG PET/CT scan of the heart. It may help doctors learn more about what the scan shows and how it could be useful after heart attacks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be able to sign a consent form (or have legal permission to do so)
- Age 18 to 80 years
- Have had a documented heart attack more than 90 days ago
- Be stable enough to safely complete the scan
- Not be pregnant at the time of the FDG PET/CT scan

This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
This study uses two imaging scans to see if parts of your heart muscle are still alive but not working well. This could help doctors decide if you might benefit from heart bypass surgery.
This trial tests if a special PET scan can help doctors better diagnose and follow infections in people with implanted heart devices like valves, pacemakers, or grafts.
This study uses a special imaging agent to see a protein called PDGFRß in the heart, which may help detect scarring (fibrosis) after a heart attack or in heart failure. It aims to improve how we understand and treat heart muscle damage.
This trial looks at how heart scarring after a major heart attack affects the heart's shape and function. It might help people who developed a bulge (aneurysm) in the heart wall after their attack.
This trial is testing a new imaging method (68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR) to better see and understand heart problems. It might help doctors diagnose or monitor conditions like heart failure or inflammation.
