Gut bacteria and heart recovery after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect your recovery after a heart attack procedure. It aims to see if certain gut bacteria are linked to better heart healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a structured cardiac rehabilitation program improves how well the heart recovers after a heart attack treated with a stent. It may help strengthen your heart and reduce future heart problems.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test score (called the CALLY index) can predict how well patients recover after having a heart attack treated with a procedure to open the blocked artery (PCI). It may help doctors understand who needs extra care.
This trial tests whether taking a special supplement (called a synbiotic) can improve your gut health after a recent heart attack. It may help your recovery by supporting your body's natural healing.
This study looks at your gut bacteria (from a stool sample) to see whether they can help predict heart risk in people being checked for blocked heart arteries. Your results may help researchers understand who is at higher risk and why.
This trial tests whether natural extracts and probiotics can improve gut health in people who have had a recent heart attack (Acute Coronary Syndrome). It uses special exams to measure changes in gut bacteria.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (your 'gut microbiome') and how it relates to chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand why some people with heart failure do better than others and could lead to better treatments in the future.
