Heart ultrasound after stent for heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a routine heart ultrasound to see how well blood is flowing in people who recently had a heart attack and had a stent placed. The goal is to help doctors better predict recovery and plan care after a heart attack.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You had a heart attack (STEMI) within the last 24 hours.
- You are scheduled for a stent procedure (primary PCI) within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
- You can have a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram) within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital.
- You do not have severe aortic valve disease (like narrowing or leaking) or a thickened heart muscle condition.

This trial looks at whether a cardiac rehab program can help your heart muscle recover and get stronger after a heart attack treated with a stent. If you are stable enough to exercise, rehab might improve your heart's pumping ability.
This study looks at whether a special ultrasound test (LA strain) in the first 48 hours after a heart attack can help predict early complications. It is for people having their first heart attack who get stents quickly.
This study tests whether a special type of heart ultrasound can help people recover better after getting a stent for blocked heart arteries. It may be a good fit for people who are having their first stent procedure and do not have other major health issues like diabetes or recent infections.
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 trial compares two ways doctors place heart stents in patients having a heart attack or unstable chest pain. One method uses ultrasound imaging inside the artery (IVUS), and the other uses standard X-ray imaging. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound procedure on the side of your neck can help prevent dangerous irregular heartbeats in patients who recently had a heart attack treated with a stent. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
