This study tests whether a healthy Nordic diet (like whole grains, berries, fish, and vegetables) can slow down hardening of the arteries in people who have had a heart attack or have stable chest pain. It lasts 18 months and aims to improve heart health.
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 trial tests if personalized education after a heart attack helps patients lower their future risk of heart problems. It focuses on people who had an emergency procedure to open blocked arteries.
This study looks at how anxiety, stress, and pain may affect people after a heart attack. It may help researchers understand who could benefit from supportive strategies after myocardial infarction (heart attack).
This study looks at a type of white blood cell (monocytes) in blood to understand differences in people with certain heart attacks, stable heart disease, or ischemic stroke. It may help researchers learn why these conditions happen and how the immune system may be involved.
This study tests whether switching to a defined plant-based diet can help people with heart disease. It aims to see if this diet improves heart health markers and how you feel.
