Long-term outcomes after heart attack and stenting
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were treated at Zhongshan Hospital in Shanghai for a heart attack.
- You had a procedure to open a blocked heart artery (angioplasty with a stent) while in the hospital.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- If you have cancer, it is not expected to limit your life to less than one year.

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 study follows people with heart conditions over time to understand long-term outcomes. If you've had a heart attack or have angina, joining this study could help doctors learn more about your condition and improve future care.
This study looks at people who have had a heart attack and were treated with a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The goal is to find better ways to predict who might have serious problems afterward, so doctors can help prevent them.
This study compares doing all heart artery procedures right away versus doing part of them later in people who had a heart attack and have blockage in more than one artery. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better after the initial emergency procedure.
This study follows people with coronary heart disease who get PCI (a procedure to open clogged heart arteries, often with a stent) and looks at their prognosis afterward. It may help researchers understand what affects recovery and outcomes after the procedure.
This study looks at whether information from heart scans taken during stent placement can help predict future heart problems. If you've already had a stent placed under OCT guidance, participating could help improve care for others.
