Cold weather exposure and heart healing after stent placement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how living or working in cold regions affects heart recovery after a stent procedure. Participants will have heart imaging at the start and again 6 months later to see if cold exposure impacts heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have had a successful stent procedure for blocked coronary arteries.
- You are stable after the procedure and expected to live at least 12 months.
- You can have MRI and ultrasound scans of your heart.
- You can provide information about where you lived and worked for the past 3 years.
- You do not have severe heart disease, kidney problems, or other conditions that would make the scans unsafe.

This study tracks patients with weakened heart function who undergo complex stent procedures (PCI) instead of open-heart surgery. Researchers will follow your progress to understand how well these procedures work in patients who are too sick for traditional bypass surgery.
This trial looks at whether a cardiac rehab program can help your heart muscle recover and get stronger after a heart attack treated with a stent. If you are stable enough to exercise, rehab might improve your heart's pumping ability.
This study compares two ways of guiding a heart stent procedure: using information from a special angiography scan versus using standard practice. It may help your care team choose the best treatment to improve heart outcomes after stenting.
This trial looks at what happens after complications during or after a heart procedure called coronary angiography or PCI. It may help improve care and outcomes for people who experience a problem during treatment.
This study follows people who need a coronary (heart) stent to see how they do after treatment. It does not sound like an experimental drug trial for you—it’s mainly about collecting health information after a stent procedure.
This study tests whether a special type of heart ultrasound can help people recover better after getting a stent for blocked heart arteries. It may be a good fit for people who are having their first stent procedure and do not have other major health issues like diabetes or recent infections.
