Blood test index and future heart risks after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple blood test called the triglyceride-glucose index. If you have had a heart attack without major blockages (MINOCA), the study will check whether this index can help predict your future risk of heart problems, which could guide your treatment and follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a heart attack, but the doctors found no major blockages in your heart arteries (this is called MINOCA).
- You had symptoms of a heart attack, such as chest pain or shortness of breath.
- Your electrocardiogram (ECG) showed changes that suggest a heart attack, with or without ST-elevation.
- An ultrasound of your heart (echocardiogram) showed that part of your heart muscle was not moving normally.
- Blood tests showed that your heart muscle was damaged (positive cardiac enzymes).
- You must not have other conditions that can mimic a heart attack, such as a blood clot in your lungs, stroke, severe infection, or ARDS.

This trial studies whether a simple blood test called the triglyceride glucose index can help doctors understand heart artery disease in younger patients who do not have diabetes. It may lead to better ways to assess heart risk and guide treatment.
This study looks at whether a blood test called the triglyceride-glucose index can help predict blockages in heart arteries. If you are not obese and are scheduled for a heart angiogram, this test might help doctors understand your risk.
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.
This study looks at blood test “markers” soon after an acute heart attack, to better understand heart damage and whether heart failure is present. It may help doctors improve how they monitor recovery and risk in people after a heart attack.
This study aims to improve how doctors predict future health problems in people who have had a heart attack. It will look at a wide range of health factors to create a more accurate risk score.
This study looks at how a simple blood test (triglyceride glucose index) relates to health outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors better predict risks and tailor treatments.
