Studying heart problems after emergency heart catheterization
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had emergency heart catheterization (a procedure to examine heart arteries) to better understand heart disease. It may help researchers develop new ways to prevent and treat heart attacks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 to 80 years old
- Had emergency coronary angiography (a test to look at your heart arteries) for a heart attack orother urgent heart problem
- Must live in one of two counties in Germany (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald or Emmendingen) and not plan to move
- Must be able to give written consent
- Cannot have severe anemia or low platelets (blood cells)
- Cannot have major health issues like cancer, immune disorders, severe kidney/liver disease, or be pregnant
- No recent cardiac arrest lasting more than 5 minutes or multiple defibrillations before the procedure

This study looks at the lymphatic system and heart tissue after a heart attack (STEMI) in people who had prompt catheter treatment. It uses heart MRI to understand healing and may help researchers improve care after a heart attack.
This study follows people 18 and older who have had a specific type of heart attack (STEMI). It aims to better understand them using a heart MRI scan, which may help improve how these patients are evaluated and cared for.
This study looks at how immune cells change in the first few hours after a severe heart attack (STEMI) and how that relates to early scar healing. It may help doctors understand why some patients heal better than others.
This study looks at whether people who come to the emergency room with a certain type of heart attack (called non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome) develop serious heart rhythm problems. It aims to find out how common these problems are and who might be at risk.
This study uses advanced CT scans to take detailed pictures of your heart and blood vessels after a recent heart attack treated with stent placement. The goal is to better understand heart damage and predict long-term outcomes.
This study looks at people who had a heart attack or cardiac arrest to find out which dangerous heart rhythms can happen afterward. The goal is to improve care and prevent future problems.
