Moderate drinking and heart recovery after a recent heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether moderate alcohol intake affects heart function after a recent heart attack. You may be asked to follow a specific plan and attend scheduled visits so researchers can measure changes in your heart and overall recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were hospitalized for a heart attack within the last 12 months
