Blood sugar and fat test to predict heart recovery after stent
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having a type of heart attack called STEMI and are scheduled for emergency balloon treatment (primary PCI) to open the blocked artery.
- You have not had a previous stent procedure (PCI) or heart bypass surgery (CABG).
- You do not have a serious illness that would limit your life expectancy to less than one year (such as advanced liver or kidney disease, or active cancer).
- You are conscious and able to provide a blood sample before treatment.

This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in narrowed arteries after you've had a stent placed for a heart attack. It may help doctors decide if you need more treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at new blood tests (biomarkers) that may predict whether blood flow will be blocked again after a stent procedure for a heart attack. It could help doctors improve treatment and recovery.
This study looks at certain fats in the blood of people having a severe heart attack called STEMI. Researchers want to see if these fats can help understand what happens in the body during a heart attack.
This trial is looking at whether a blood test can help doctors choose the best treatment for people with heart disease who are getting stents. It may help make treatment more personal and effective.
This study looks at whether insulin resistance (when the body doesn't use insulin well) is linked to poor blood flow after a stent procedure in people with type 2 diabetes who have had a heart attack. It might help doctors understand why some people have worse outcomes after this treatment.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test score (called the CALLY index) can predict how well patients recover after having a heart attack treated with a procedure to open the blocked artery (PCI). It may help doctors understand who needs extra care.
