Timing of heart artery imaging in NSTEMI with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at the best time to perform a heart catheterization (coronary angiography) in people who have a mild heart attack (NSTEMI) and also develop worsening heart failure symptoms. The goal is to find out if doing the procedure early or later leads to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 19 years or older
- You must have had a specific type of heart attack called NSTEMI
- You must have new or worsening shortness of breath (NYHA class 2 or more)
- You must have fluid build-up in the lungs (pulmonary congestion)
- You must not be in cardiogenic shock when starting the study
- You must not have a planned or previous heart bypass surgery (CABG)

This study compares two approaches for people who have had a heart attack with blockages in more than one artery: doing all artery openings at once or doing them in stages. It aims to find which timing is safer and more effective.
This trial compares two ways to guide treatment during a heart attack: using a special camera (OCT) inside the artery or standard X-ray (angiography). It aims to see which method leads to better results for patients.
This trial compares when to do a stent procedure (PCI) in people with NSTEMI who have disease in more than one coronary artery (non-IRA). It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective timing for treatment to improve outcomes.
This trial compares using a cardiac MRI before the standard catheterization (angiogram) in people with a suspected heart attack that doesn't show the typical ECG changes. It aims to see if the MRI can help guide decisions and avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study looks at how the time between your heart attack and treatment with angioplasty affects certain electrical patterns in your heart and how well you recover. The goal is to see if quicker treatment helps improve outcomes.
This study compares doing the full heart procedure (opening all narrowed arteries) either at the same time as the first procedure or in a second procedure later on. It aims to find out which approach helps people with multiple blocked heart arteries recover better.
