Evaluating mild hypothermia during heart attack shock treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding mild hypothermia (cooling the body) helps people who are having a severe heart attack and need a heart-lung machine and a breathing tube. It focuses on those with a blockage in the front part of the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a severe heart attack that causes cardiogenic shock (your heart can't pump enough blood).
- You need a heart-lung machine (VA-ECMO) to support your heart and a breathing tube.
- The heart attack is in the front wall of your heart (anterior wall myocardial infarction).
- You are 18 years or older.

This study tests whether cooling the heart with a cold liquid during a procedure (angioplasty) can help reduce damage after a heart attack. It may be an option for people who arrive at the hospital quickly after a heart attack.
This trial tests if cooling the body (hypothermia) or keeping normal body temperature (normothermia) after emergency heart-lung support (ECMO) improves survival in adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
This study tests whether using body cooling for different lengths of time helps children recover better after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It focuses on children who remain very unresponsive after resuscitation and need a breathing tube and steady temperature control.
This study tests a special way to cool the lungs quickly after a cardiac arrest, using a liquid ventilation method. The goal is to see if this can help protect the brain and other organs after the heart is restarted.
This trial tests a new way to protect the heart during emergency angioplasty by gently cooling the heart with a cold fluid. It may help reduce damage from a heart attack if you are treated within 12 hours.
This trial tests if gently cooling the body to 33°C after a cardiac arrest in the hospital improves recovery compared to keeping a normal temperature. It aims to protect the brain and help patients wake up better.
