Blood markers and heart function after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers (related to inflammation and heart damage) can help tell how well your heart is working after a heart attack. By joining, you could help doctors better predict heart function problems and improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, which includes a heart attack or unstable chest pain.
- Your symptoms must have started within the last 24 hours before joining.
- You must be able to give your informed consent to participate.
- You cannot have a chronic inflammatory disease, active infection, cancer, severe liver or kidney failure, or an autoimmune disease.
- You cannot have a known heart muscle disease or chronic reduced pumping function, and you cannot have received clot-busting treatment for this episode.

This study is checking if a simple blood test (hs-CRP to albumin ratio) can help predict outcomes in people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina but are not getting an immediate balloon/stent procedure. It aims to use inflammation markers to guide better care.
This study looks at blood “biomarkers” (signals in blood tests) in people who arrive with symptoms that could be a heart attack. It may help doctors spot and manage acute heart problems sooner and more accurately.
This study examines blood samples from people with different types of coronary artery disease to understand the condition better. It may help doctors learn how to treat heart problems in the future.
This trial studies how people do after a heart attack (or related heart injury) and may test treatments that could improve outcomes. If you’re an adult and recently had this heart event, you may be able to join after discussing consent.
This study looks at two blood markers (mean platelet volume and systemic inflammatory response index) to see if they help predict outcomes in people admitted with a heart attack or unstable angina. If you've had chest pain from a heart condition and get to the hospital quickly, this could be relevant for you.
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.
