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 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 study looks at the health of people who have already had a heart artery procedure (stent or bypass). It aims to build a model to predict how well patients will do over time, and it may also explore how a Chinese medicine approach could help.
This study tests whether a structured cardiac rehabilitation program improves how well the heart recovers after a heart attack treated with a stent. It may help strengthen your heart and reduce future heart problems.
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 looks at what happens to people after they have a heart attack and receive a stent (a small mesh tube) to open the blocked heart artery. It will track their health over time to better understand the short- and long-term risks of heart and brain events like another heart attack or stroke, so doctors can improve care.
This study tests whether giving a drug called nicorandil directly into the heart artery just before placing a stent can help keep blood flow normal and reduce complications after the procedure.
