Advanced scans to understand heart healing after heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses advanced CT scans and blood tests to look at how the heart is damaged and recovers after a first heart attack. It may help doctors find better ways to treat heart attacks in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a first heart attack (STEMI type) treated with a procedure called primary PCI (angioplasty).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 45% or less after the heart attack.
- You have no allergy to contrast dye used in scans.
- You do not have advanced kidney disease (eGFR less than 30).
- You have not had a prior heart attack or been diagnosed with other heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy).

This study uses advanced CT scans to take detailed pictures of your heart and blood vessels after a recent heart attack treated with stent placement. The goal is to better understand heart damage and predict long-term outcomes.
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI) before and after a common artery-opening procedure to see how the heart heals. It only includes people having their first heart attack who get emergency treatment with a stent.
This study is looking at certain blood markers and heart tissue changes in people who have recently had a heart attack. The goal is to understand how the heart heals and remodels after an attack, which could help improve future treatments.
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 study looks at the lymphatic system and heart tissue after a heart attack (STEMI) in people who had prompt catheter treatment. It uses heart MRI to understand healing and may help researchers improve care after a heart attack.
This study looks at how immune cells change in the first few hours after a severe heart attack (STEMI) and how that relates to early scar healing. It may help doctors understand why some patients heal better than others.
