ECG to detect past heart attacks
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses an electrocardiogram (ECG) to find people who have had a past heart attack or are at high risk for coronary artery disease. It may help understand how ECG patterns relate to heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 85 years old.
- You have had a past heart attack (at least 3 months ago) OR your ECG shows signs of a prior heart attack.
- Or, you have suspected coronary artery disease with at least two risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity.
- You can have a cardiac MRI and are not pregnant.
- You do not have another serious illness that limits life to less than a year.

This trial compares using a cardiac MRI before the standard catheterization (angiogram) in people with a suspected heart attack that doesn't show the typical ECG changes. It aims to see if the MRI can help guide decisions and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study uses MRI scans of the heart to predict future health problems after a heart attack. It may help doctors plan better care. Participants will have an MRI and follow-up visits.
This study helps doctors identify which heart attack survivors with moderate heart weakness are at highest risk of sudden cardiac death. Researchers will collect health information and heart imaging over 5 years to find early warning signs.
This study uses special heart MRI scans to improve how heart images are made and interpreted. You may be asked to undergo MRI testing to help compare scans in people with a past heart attack and healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether magnetocardiography—a scan that measures heart signals using magnets—can more accurately identify myocardial infarction (heart attack). It may help doctors detect heart attacks faster and more accurately using safer, non-invasive testing.
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.
