Ultrasound Treatment to Prevent Heart Rhythm Problems After Heart Attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound procedure on the side of your neck can help prevent dangerous irregular heartbeats in patients who recently had a heart attack treated with a stent. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18–80 years old
- You had a heart attack (STEMI) within the last 12 hours and received emergency stent placement (PCI)
- You are able to return for follow-up visits as required
- You have not had a previous heart attack
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or severe heart rhythm problems before this heart attack
- You do not have a skin infection, lesion, or tumor on the left side of your neck

This trial tests a new treatment using focused ultrasound to help regulate your nervous system and improve sleep quality before heart surgery. The goal is to help reduce anxiety and improve how well you sleep during the time leading up to and after your cardiology procedure.
This study tests whether a special type of heart ultrasound can help people recover better after getting a stent for blocked heart arteries. It may be a good fit for people who are having their first stent procedure and do not have other major health issues like diabetes or recent infections.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation near your ear (tragus) can help stabilize your heart's rhythm and reduce inflammation after a STEMI heart attack. It may help lower the risk of future heart problems.
This trial tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation device on the neck to see if it reduces the risk of another heart attack or related complications in people who recently had a heart attack. Participation lasts about 24 hours after initial treatment.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation on the tragus (small bump near your ear opening) can improve heart function in people having a first heart attack. This treatment is non-invasive and could help protect your heart from damage.
This study uses a routine heart ultrasound to see how well blood is flowing in people who recently had a heart attack and had a stent placed. The goal is to help doctors better predict recovery and plan care after a heart attack.
