Heart function test for heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking at how well the heart pumps blood in patients who have had a heart attack and are treated with a procedure to open blocked arteries. It aims to see if a simple heart ultrasound can predict recovery and health outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a certain type of heart attack called STEMI.
- You must be having a procedure to open the blocked artery within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
- You must be able to have a heart ultrasound within 24 hours of being admitted.
- You cannot have severe heart valve disease, a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or other issues that prevent a clear ultrasound.

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 looks at whether a special heart ultrasound can help predict early complications after a heart attack treated with a stent. It might help doctors identify patients who need extra care.
This study uses ultrasound images of your heart to see how well the right side is working in people who have a blood clot in the lungs. The goal is to better predict which patients might be at higher risk and need more intensive care.
This trial tests if a heart imaging scan (myocardial perfusion) can help doctors better diagnose heart attacks or other conditions in people who come to the hospital with chest pain but without ST elevation on their ECG. It aims to see if the scan adds valuable information before heart catheterization.
This study looks at how well the heart muscle recovers after emergency angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries) in people having their first major heart attack. It uses special heart scans and ECGs to check blood flow and muscle health, aiming to improve future treatments.
This study uses a special heart ultrasound to look at how well the heart's upper chambers are working. It aims to predict the chance of serious heart issues in the next 6 months for people who had a certain type of heart attack (NSTEMI).
