Studying heart attacks in young adults to understand new genes
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks for new genetic causes of heart attacks in young adults. If you had a heart attack at a young age and are of Chinese, Malay, or Indian descent, this study may help find answers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 21 and had a heart attack at age 50 or younger.
- If you were 51 to 60 at the time of heart attack, you had no more than 2 heart disease risk factors (like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, or smoking) and did not have diabetes.
- Your heart attack was type 1 and doctors found a blocked artery of at least 50% or 70% on a test.
- You are of Chinese, Malay, or Indian descent.
- You do not have a known inherited cholesterol condition, certain autoimmune diseases, end-stage kidney disease, or congenital heart disease.
- You have not had a stroke or blockages in your leg arteries before.

This study looks at the long-term health of young adults (ages 18 to 45) who have had a heart attack. It aims to understand their recovery and future risks.
This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
This study aims to improve how doctors predict future health problems in people who have had a heart attack. It will look at a wide range of health factors to create a more accurate risk score.
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.
This study enrolls people who were recently diagnosed with an acute heart attack. It mainly collects medical information and test results to better understand heart attack patterns over time.
