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 a special MRI of the heart and a computer model to predict long-term recovery after a first heart attack (STEMI). It aims to help doctors better understand which patients may need more follow-up care.
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 study examines whether certain changes in blood cells are connected to how severe a heart attack is. Researchers will perform heart imaging and blood tests on people who have just had their first heart attack to understand this relationship better.
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 how immune cells change in the first few hours after a severe heart attack (STEMI) and how that relates to early scar healing. It may help doctors understand why some patients heal better than others.
