Early FAPI PET/MRI after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a new type of PET/MR scan (FAPI) to look at inflammation in the heart shortly after a heart attack. It may help doctors understand recovery better and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a recent heart attack diagnosed by a doctor using standard guidelines.
- You are 18 years or older.
- If you needed a procedure to open blocked arteries, it was successful.
- You are able to have an MRI and a PET scan (no metal implants, pacemakers, or severe claustrophobia).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests a new imaging agent that highlights inflammation in the heart after a heart attack. It may help doctors see how much damage occurred and guide treatment.
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 trial tests whether a special scan called FAPI-PET can predict heart problems in people with a chronic total occlusion (a completely blocked heart artery for at least 3 months). If you have this type of blockage and are planning to have a procedure to open it, this study may help guide your care.
This trial is testing a new imaging method (68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR) to better see and understand heart problems. It might help doctors diagnose or monitor conditions like heart failure or inflammation.
This study tests a new imaging method using a special tracer and PET/MRI scans to better see breast cancer. It may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
This trial looks at how heart scarring after a major heart attack affects the heart's shape and function. It might help people who developed a bulge (aneurysm) in the heart wall after their attack.
