ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how two specific measures—triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and residual SYNTAX score (RSS)—relate to each other in patients who have experienced a heart attack known as STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) and are undergoing a procedure called primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) to open blocked arteries. The study aims to see how these measures affect heart recovery three months after the procedure and to explore their impact on any major health complications during that time.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between 18 and 80 years old and have been diagnosed with STEMI, making them eligible for the PPCI treatment. However, those who have previously undergone similar heart procedures, have serious health conditions that limit their life expectancy, or cannot provide consent will not be included. Participants can expect to have their blood tested and their heart function monitored, helping researchers learn how these measures influence recovery after a heart attack. This study is important as it may provide insights that improve treatment and outcomes for future patients with similar conditions.
