Predicting heart outcomes after a first heart attack with blood tests
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at blood tests and heart function after a first heart attack (STEMI) treated with emergency stenting. Researchers want to see if certain molecules in the blood can predict future heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- This is your first heart attack (no prior heart attack).
- You received emergency balloon angioplasty (stent) within 12 hours of chest pain, and it was successful.
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is at least 35%.
- You do not have serious health problems like heart failure, severe kidney or liver disease, active cancer, or a bleeding disorder.
- You are willing to have repeat blood draws and heart ultrasound follow-ups over 6 months.

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 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 uses advanced CT scans and blood tests to look at how the heart is damaged and recovers after a first heart attack. It may help doctors find better ways to treat heart attacks in the future.
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 a special heart ultrasound can help predict early complications after a heart attack treated with a stent. It might help doctors identify patients who need extra care.
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.
