Heart MRI to Predict Recovery After Heart Attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing if a special heart MRI taken within a week of a STEMI heart attack can help doctors predict your recovery and future risks. It may help tailor your follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a specific type of heart attack called STEMI (with ST-segment elevation on your ECG and high troponin levels).
- You had a procedure to open the blocked artery (angioplasty or stent) soon after your heart attack.
- You can have a heart MRI within 7 days after that procedure.
- You do not have severe claustrophobia, an older pacemaker or defibrillator that is not MRI-safe, or an allergy to the MRI contrast dye (gadolinium).
- Your kidney function is good (eGFR 30 or higher) if contrast is used, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study uses heart MRI scans to find markers that predict outcomes in people with ischemic heart disease, including those who have had a heart attack. It may help doctors better understand your condition and guide future care.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look at scar tissue after a heart attack and see if it can help predict who might need a device to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. It is for people who had a heart attack at least a month ago and had a cardiac MRI at Anzhen Hospital.
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 follows people 18 and older who have had a specific type of heart attack (STEMI). It aims to better understand them using a heart MRI scan, which may help improve how these patients are evaluated and cared for.
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 uses advanced heart scans (MRI) before and after a common artery-opening procedure to see how the heart heals. It only includes people having their first heart attack who get emergency treatment with a stent.
