Delays and heart attack outcomes study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how time delays before and during hospital care affect recovery after a heart attack. It may help identify ways to get faster treatment and improve survival.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be willing to join the study or have a family member agree for you.
- You must receive treatment to open blocked heart arteries, either with medicine or a procedure.

This trial looks at the best time to perform a heart catheterization (coronary angiography) in people who have a mild heart attack (NSTEMI) and also develop worsening heart failure symptoms. The goal is to find out if doing the procedure early or later leads to better outcomes.
This trial is looking at the best time to treat other narrowed arteries in people who had a heart attack and already had the main blockage opened. It compares doing the additional procedures during the same session versus waiting a few days or weeks.
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 how the time from the start of a heart attack to opening the blocked artery (called total ischemic time) affects heart rhythm and recovery in patients having a type of heart attack called STEMI. The goal is to understand if longer delays lead to worse outcomes.
This study follows people who have had a heart attack very recently (within 48 hours) to evaluate care and outcomes. You may be invited if your diagnosis fits a typical heart-attack pattern and you can consent.
This trial studies whether feedback about treatment timing can help people who are having a specific type of heart attack get treated faster and more effectively. You may be eligible if you arrived for emergency heart catheter treatment soon after symptoms began.
