Studying dangerous heart rhythms after a heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had a heart attack or cardiac arrest to find out which dangerous heart rhythms can happen afterward. The goal is to improve care and prevent future problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had a heart attack (including types called STEMI, NSTEMI) or unstable angina, or a cardiac arrest outside the hospital caused by a heart attack.
- You were admitted to a hospital department such as the emergency room, cardiac care unit, intensive care unit, or cardiology ward.
- You have not asked that your medical data be kept out of research.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether people who come to the emergency room with a certain type of heart attack (called non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome) develop serious heart rhythm problems. It aims to find out how common these problems are and who might be at risk.
This study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can help doctors understand if treatments prevent dangerous heart rhythms in active people. It involves people with or without heart devices like ICDs or pacemakers, and may help improve care for active individuals with heart conditions.
This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
This study tracks inflammation in patients who had a heart attack and received a stent. It aims to understand inflammation levels after the event.
This study looks at dangerous heart rhythms that happen during a heart attack. Researchers will review medical records from 2012–2024 to understand these rhythms better and potentially improve treatment.
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.
