Flu vaccine after heart attack: effect on heart inflammation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether getting a flu vaccine shortly after a heart attack can reduce inflammation in the heart. If you've recently had a non-ST-segment elevation heart attack and a stent placed, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a certain type of heart attack (called non-ST-segment elevation).
- You had a stent placed to open a blocked artery.
- You are a man or a woman who cannot become pregnant, aged 18 or older.
- You can have a special CT scan of your heart within 7 days after your stent procedure.
- You have not had a flu shot in the last 6 months, and you do not have any other vaccines planned in the next 8 weeks.

This trial tests selatogrel to see if it can better prevent harmful heart and blood-clot outcomes after a recent heart attack. You may be considered if you had a heart attack in the past 4 weeks and have higher-risk heart artery disease.
This study tests whether getting a flu vaccine helps people who recently had a heart attack or unstable angina (acute coronary syndrome). It looks at whether vaccination can reduce future heart problems.
This study tests whether giving a flu vaccine to patients before they leave the hospital after a heart condition improves their health. The vaccine may help protect your heart and prevent serious flu complications while you recover.
This study looks at blood markers (special proteins) in patients who have had both a heart attack and pneumonia, to see how vaccination affects recovery. The goal is to understand whether flu and pneumonia vaccines are safe and helpful for people recovering from these two serious conditions together.
This study looks at how inflammation in the body may affect doctors' thinking and treatment choices. As part of the study, you would receive a flu vaccine, and researchers will measure your body's response and how it might influence your medical decisions.
