How timing of treatment affects heart electrical patterns in STEMI patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the time between your heart attack and treatment with angioplasty affects certain electrical patterns in your heart and how well you recover. The goal is to see if quicker treatment helps improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having a STEMI heart attack and be treated with emergency angioplasty (primary PCI).
- You must not have had a previous heart attack or heart bypass surgery.
- You must not have certain heart rhythm problems like bundle branch block or atrial fibrillation.
- You must not have had cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, or severe valve disease.
- You must not be taking medications that affect heart rhythm (like some psychiatric or heart-rhythm drugs).
- You must not have severe kidney disease, abnormal electrolyte levels, or poor quality ECG readings.
- You must know when your chest pain started.

This study tests different ways of restoring blood flow for people having a heart attack (STEMI) when the usual emergency procedure (primary PCI) may be delayed. It aims to see if giving a clot-busting medicine beforehand is as good as waiting for the procedure, or if another approach works better.
This trial studies whether adding a special heart “reset” step (ischemic postconditioning) and using an imaging guide during the emergency procedure can improve outcomes for people having a STEMI heart attack. It’s meant to optimize treatment when a blocked heart artery is being opened.
This trial studies whether feedback about treatment timing can help people who are having a specific type of heart attack get treated faster and more effectively. You may be eligible if you arrived for emergency heart catheter treatment soon after symptoms began.
This study looks at how well the heart muscle recovers after emergency angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries) in people having their first major heart attack. It uses special heart scans and ECGs to check blood flow and muscle health, aiming to improve future treatments.
This trial looks at the best time to perform a heart catheterization (coronary angiography) in people who have a mild heart attack (NSTEMI) and also develop worsening heart failure symptoms. The goal is to find out if doing the procedure early or later leads to better outcomes.
This trial compares two ways to guide treatment during a heart attack: using a special camera (OCT) inside the artery or standard X-ray (angiography). It aims to see which method leads to better results for patients.
