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.

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 looks at whether a special heart ultrasound can help predict early complications after a heart attack treated with a stent. It might help doctors identify patients who need extra care.
This trial compares using a special ultrasound probe inside the heart's arteries versus standard X-ray imaging to guide stent placement during emergency treatment for a heart attack. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance improves outcomes.
This study compares two methods of placing a stent in a blocked heart artery after a recent heart attack. One method uses a special ultrasound called IVUS to guide placement, while the other uses standard X-ray imaging. The goal is to see which one leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
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 trial tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device placed on the ear can help reduce future heart problems after a recent heart attack. It's a non-invasive treatment that may improve recovery.
