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 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 tests a new imaging method (FAPI PET/MRI) to see if it can help evaluate breast cancer. It focuses on people with invasive breast cancer who are about to start treatment before surgery or who have recurrent or new breast cancer.
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 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.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
