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 study looks at people who had emergency heart catheterization (a procedure to examine heart arteries) to better understand heart disease. It may help researchers develop new ways to prevent and treat heart attacks.
This study follows people after an acute heart attack (AMI) to learn what care is used and what outcomes happen over time. Your information may help doctors optimize how heart attack care is delivered in the future.
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 looks at how well the heart muscle recovers after emergency angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries) in people having their first major heart attack. It uses special heart scans and ECGs to check blood flow and muscle health, aiming to improve future treatments.
