Immune cell study after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how immune cells change in the first few hours after a severe heart attack (STEMI) and how that relates to early scar healing. It may help doctors understand why some patients heal better than others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 80 years old
- You must be having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) and arriving at the hospital within 12 hours of symptoms starting
- You must be scheduled for emergency angioplasty (PPCI)
- You cannot have had prior heart surgery or stents
- You cannot be allergic to the MRI contrast dye (gadopentetate dimeglumine)
- You cannot be pregnant or planning pregnancy in the next 6 months

This study looks at the lymphatic system and heart tissue after a heart attack (STEMI) in people who had prompt catheter treatment. It uses heart MRI to understand healing and may help researchers improve care after a heart attack.
This study follows people 18 and older who have had a specific type of heart attack (STEMI). It aims to better understand them using a heart MRI scan, which may help improve how these patients are evaluated and cared for.
This early research study uses heart and blood-vessel imaging soon after a heart attack to better understand how new therapies might affect blood vessels. You may be asked to have imaging tests and possibly take study medicines, depending on what your doctor finds and your health status.
This study uses advanced CT scans and blood tests to look at how the heart is damaged and recovers after a first heart attack. It may help doctors find better ways to treat heart attacks in the future.
This study uses a special MRI of the heart and a computer model to predict long-term recovery after a first heart attack (STEMI). It aims to help doctors better understand which patients may need more follow-up care.
This study uses advanced CT scans to take detailed pictures of your heart and blood vessels after a recent heart attack treated with stent placement. The goal is to better understand heart damage and predict long-term outcomes.
