Heart imaging after emergency angioplasty for first heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having your first heart attack.
- You had emergency stent placement to open a blocked artery.
- You can have a cardiac MRI within 7 days and again 6 months later.
- You do not have severe heart failure, other serious heart conditions, or a previous heart surgery.

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 trial tests how well a heart MRI can be used soon after a first heart attack, especially when a blocked artery is opened quickly with angioplasty. It may help doctors better assess heart injury and guide care after an emergency heart event.
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.
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 looks at the lymphatic system and heart tissue after a heart attack (STEMI) in people who had prompt catheter treatment. It uses heart MRI to understand healing and may help researchers improve care after a heart attack.
