Heart artery function test after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the blood vessels in your arm relax after a heart attack. It uses an ultrasound test on your arm, a heart ultrasound, and some blood tests to see if this can help predict future heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how to assess small blood-vessel (microvascular) problems in people who had a heart attack but whose main heart arteries are not blocked. It may help doctors better find what’s driving symptoms and choose the right tests and treatments.
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow in narrowed arteries after you've had a stent placed for a heart attack. It may help doctors decide if you need more treatment to prevent future heart problems.
This study uses a new method during a routine heart catheterization to measure resistance in the heart arteries and the tiny blood vessels. It helps doctors understand if a treatment like stents or medication would be best for your heart.
This study looks at how well the heart’s blood vessels work in people who have symptoms of reduced blood flow but no major artery blockage. It uses special heart tests with medicines to check how the vessels respond and may help guide better diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at how well blood flows through the heart artery that was recently treated with a stent. It uses a non-invasive test to check the function of the artery, which may help guide future care.
This study looks at people with coronary artery disease (narrowed or blocked heart arteries) to see how different imaging and function tests can help predict outcomes. If you've had a heart procedure or test showing blockages, you might be eligible.
