Heart Imaging Study After Heart Attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a heart attack (STEMI or NSTEMI) within the last 4 weeks
- You received a stent procedure (PCI) to open the blocked artery
- Your heart is stable enough to safely have a CT scan
- You can have a CT scan within 7 days after your stent procedure
- You're willing to participate in phone follow-up calls
- You're at least 18 years old

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.
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 looks at arteries in the heart that aren't the one that caused the heart attack. It uses a special CT scan to understand these arteries better in people who have already had a procedure to open the blocked artery.
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 uses advanced CT scans to better understand different types of acute heart muscle damage, such as heart attacks without blocked arteries, inflammation, or stress-related damage. It may help your doctors get clearer images of your heart to guide your treatment.
This study enrolls people who were recently diagnosed with an acute heart attack. It mainly collects medical information and test results to better understand heart attack patterns over time.
