Using frailty to predict bleeding risk in older heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether frailty (weakness and vulnerability) can help predict the risk of bleeding in older patients who have had a heart attack. The goal is to better identify who might need extra monitoring or different treatments to prevent dangerous bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a heart attack (either a STEMI or NSTEMI type) right now.
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You are willing to participate in the study.
- You have not been hospitalized for a bleeding-related problem during this admission.

This trial looks at “frailty,” meaning reduced strength and resilience, in older adults with coronary artery disease who are getting heart care. It may help doctors better understand which patients are more at risk and how care decisions could be improved.
This study looks at how frailty (overall weakness and vulnerability) affects treatment and recovery in older adults who come to the hospital with a heart attack. It may help doctors choose better treatments for patients like you.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This study looks at how frailty and inflammation affect recovery after a hip fracture in older adults. It aims to find biomarkers that could help personalize care.
This study looks at frailty (how strong or vulnerable a person is) in adults who are having a left atrial appendage closure procedure through a catheter. The goal is to understand which patients may be more vulnerable during or after the procedure.
This trial looks at whether “frailty” (how weak or vulnerable someone is) changes short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors better predict who could benefit from extra support before and after surgery.
