Gut bacteria and heart recovery after heart attack treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect your recovery and heart function after a heart attack treated with a stent. Stool samples will be collected to analyze your gut bacteria, and your progress will be tracked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how a simple blood test (the CALLY index) might help predict how well patients recover after a heart attack and emergency stent placement.
This trial looks at whether a cardiac rehab program can help your heart muscle recover and get stronger after a heart attack treated with a stent. If you are stable enough to exercise, rehab might improve your heart's pumping ability.
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 taking a synbiotic supplement (a mix of probiotics and prebiotics) after a recent heart attack or unstable angina can help recovery by improving gut health. You may qualify if you had a heart attack or unstable angina within the last week.
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 tests whether a special type of heart ultrasound can help people recover better after getting a stent for blocked heart arteries. It may be a good fit for people who are having their first stent procedure and do not have other major health issues like diabetes or recent infections.
