Inflammation and blood markers in diabetic heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how inflammation and blood cell counts are related in people with diabetes who have a heart attack and are treated with a stent. It may help doctors understand how to better care for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a heart attack called STEMI (ST elevation on ECG).
- You are being treated with an emergency procedure to open the blocked artery (primary PCI, or stent placement).
- You have not had a prior heart stent or bypass surgery.
- No known blood disorders, active infection, autoimmune disease, cancer, or use of immune-suppressing drugs in the last 3 months.
- No severe kidney or liver disease, and no recent blood transfusion.

This study looks at how insulin resistance affects blood flow after a common heart attack procedure (stenting) in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand why some patients have poor blood flow after treatment.
This study tracks inflammation in patients who had a heart attack and received a stent. It aims to understand inflammation levels after the event.
This study looks at certain fats in the blood of people having a severe heart attack called STEMI. Researchers want to see if these fats can help understand what happens in the body during a heart attack.
This study measures how your body handles sugar and related hormones in people after a new STEMI heart attack, and compares them with people who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes after the event, which could help future care.
This study examines whether certain changes in blood cells are connected to how severe a heart attack is. Researchers will perform heart imaging and blood tests on people who have just had their first heart attack to understand this relationship better.
This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
