Imaging heart attack inflammation with a new tracer
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new imaging agent that highlights inflammation in the heart after a heart attack. It may help doctors see how much damage occurred and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had a heart attack 7 to 10 days ago.
- You are able to lie still for at least 30 minutes for a PET-MR scan.
- Your kidney, liver, and blood tests are within certain limits.
- You have no metal implants like a pacemaker or metal stent.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This study uses advanced CT scans and blood tests to look at how the heart is damaged and recovers after a first heart attack. It may help doctors find better ways to treat heart attacks in the future.
This study uses advanced CT scans to take detailed pictures of your heart and blood vessels after a recent heart attack treated with stent placement. The goal is to better understand heart damage and predict long-term outcomes.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look for inflammation in the artery walls of the heart. It will help doctors understand how inflammation relates to coronary artery disease and recent heart attacks.
This study tests a new imaging agent, 18F-TPP, that may help doctors see how well the heart's cells are working. It involves two PET scans and an MRI, and is for healthy volunteers to establish normal readings.
