Can Anion Gap Predict Heart Risks After a Heart Attack?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if a simple blood test measure (anion gap) can help predict serious heart problems in people who have had a major heart attack (STEMI) and received emergency angioplasty. It may help doctors better understand your risk and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a certain type of heart attack called STEMI.
- You received a procedure called primary PCI (angioplasty) to open the blocked artery.
- You do not have a history of heart failure from any cause.
- You did not have cardiogenic shock (very low blood pressure from heart failure) before your procedure.
- You do not have an active infection at the time of the study.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have conditions that cause a high anion gap, such as chronic kidney disease or metabolic acidosis.

This study is testing if a special heart MRI taken within a week of a STEMI heart attack can help doctors predict your recovery and future risks. It may help tailor your follow-up care.
This study is for people who have recently had a STEMI heart attack. Researchers are looking at how the heart’s injury affects the rest of the body, which may help improve care after this type of emergency.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test (the anion gap) can help predict survival in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. It aims to find out if this measurement can guide treatment decisions.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on the tragus (small bump near your ear opening) can improve heart function in people having a first heart attack. This treatment is non-invasive and could help protect your heart from damage.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test (triglyceride glucose index) can help predict how well blocked heart arteries are opened after a heart attack treated with emergency angioplasty. It may help doctors better understand recovery and future risks.
This trial uses a new ECG analysis to predict if small blood vessels in the heart are damaged after a heart attack and if complications may occur. It aims to find patients who might need extra care after a stent procedure.
