Better heart attack risk prediction study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been hospitalized for a heart attack or unstable angina and received treatment with a catheter procedure.
- You have at least two of the following risk factors: age over 65, diabetes, heart disease in multiple vessels, clogged leg arteries, chronic kidney disease, prior stroke or mini-stroke, prior heart attack, complex stent procedure, prior bypass surgery, heart failure, BMI over 27, need for a blood thinner, low red blood cell count, recent bleeding event requiring transfusion, a bleeding disorder, current cancer (except skin cancer), or previous bleeding in the brain.

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 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 is building a tool to predict who might have a heart attack, using data from people who already have heart disease. By joining, you help improve prevention for people with similar risk factors.
This study uses computer models to predict the chance of major heart problems in the year after a heart attack, which could help doctors tailor follow-up care. It involves standard emergency heart procedure and regular check-ups.
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 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.
