Recovery after heart attack treatment based on plaque levels
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks back at heart attack patients to see if the amount of plaque in their arteries affects how well the heart recovers. It may help doctors understand who needs more follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a specific type of heart attack called STEMI
- You were treated at the University Hospital of Nancy in France between 2003 and 2023
- You had a procedure called primary PCI to open the blocked artery
- Your doctor has records of your coronary angiogram (an X-ray of your heart arteries)
- Your medical records are complete

This study looks at how well the heart muscle recovers after emergency angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries) in people having their first major heart attack. It uses special heart scans and ECGs to check blood flow and muscle health, aiming to improve future treatments.
This study looks at people who have had a heart attack and were treated with a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The goal is to find better ways to predict who might have serious problems afterward, so doctors can help prevent them.
This study compares two methods of placing a stent in a blocked heart artery after a recent heart attack. One method uses a special ultrasound called IVUS to guide placement, while the other uses standard X-ray imaging. The goal is to see which one leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
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.
This study looks at how well the heart pumps years after a STEMI heart attack. It uses MRI scans to compare heart function in different patients.
This trial compares two ways to decide which heart artery blockages need treatment: one looks at blood flow, the other at plaque buildup and risk. It's for people with high-risk blockages to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
