Heart function study after heart attack with aneurysm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how heart scarring after a major heart attack affects the heart's shape and function. It might help people who developed a bulge (aneurysm) in the heart wall after their attack.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had a major heart attack (STEMI or NSTEMI) and were treated with a stent or balloon.
- An imaging test (like an ultrasound or MRI) showed a bulge (aneurysm) in your heart wall.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a known allergy to imaging tracers used in scans.

This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
This trial is testing a new imaging method (68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR) to better see and understand heart problems. It might help doctors diagnose or monitor conditions like heart failure or inflammation.
This study uses a special imaging test (PET/MR) to check if damaged heart muscle is still alive and can recover. It is for people with severe blocked arteries and weak heart pumping function who are planning bypass surgery or stem cell treatment.
This study uses a special imaging agent to see a protein called PDGFRß in the heart, which may help detect scarring (fibrosis) after a heart attack or in heart failure. It aims to improve how we understand and treat heart muscle damage.
This trial studies people who had a heart attack more than 90 days ago using an FDG PET/CT scan of the heart. It may help doctors learn more about what the scan shows and how it could be useful after heart attacks.
This study uses a new type of PET/MR scan (FAPI) to look at inflammation in the heart shortly after a heart attack. It may help doctors understand recovery better and guide future treatments.
